Our Manx family patterns were ... Family name then maternal or parental grandfathers first or second christian name then fathers first name.

Girls were named after their mothers families in same pattern.

Just for interest my grandmother had twelve children only seven survived, this was even in the late 1890's. The story goes after attending a burial in Kirk Braddan, they would get home to find another had died.

Sad times even in late 1890's early 1900's

Hope it helps.
