Lloyds Register of Shipping 1884-85 No.3 Official Number 78216 lists the Ship MONA, wood, salted, Master J. Callow, tons 70 built by Restorick in 1878, 5 months, Owner: J. Kaman, Port: Cstitwn, Port of Registry: Bideford, years assigned:12, character: A1. Deaths 1884-85 list J. Callow, Ship Mona, 3012.

I would like to know whom to contact on the I.O.M. who might search local records for information regarding this. I believe J. Callow to be John Banks Callow born Douglas, I.O.M. 1854/55; son of Silvester Callow b. 1816 Douglas, who was the son of George Callow, Douglas and Jane Banks of Howstrake.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Banks Callow is my husband's maternal g.grandfather.
