Re: Help on Taggarts please
In Response To: Re: Help on Taggarts please ()

The Taggart wills I was referring to were on Brian Lawsons site. I thought I remembered a reference to a Taggart family in Red Gap Malew - but I have just checked through those wills again and could not find any reference - so sorry for misleading you there (there was a Creer family living there in 1881 which is why the name rang a bell!) . However if you have not seen these wills I am sure you find them of interest. The same site also has a number of Taggart burial records in case you had not seen them.

If it is of any help to you I do have the full set of books for the IOM 1851 census and the LDS CD's for 1881. The 1851 for Malew shows a number of Taggart families living at Ballagilbert, Gildale and Ballamoda Beg/Moar as well as in Castletown. In Arbory at this time there are a couple of families living at Balladoole and Ballacubbin.
