Quite a lot of info is available of Manx movements to UK & beyond over the centuries.. has anyone done any extended research of Manx movements to/from Ireland- north & south?

There has not been much discussion on this BB about Manx demographic movements to the west of us!! (Perhaps it is time to also discuss movement between Scotland and Wales as well.....)

I have about 4 references of Qualtroughs in Ireland in early 1700s... (refs found in wills, but yet to be followed up) and would welcome any discussion of what connections the Manx had with Ireland over the centuries and for what reasons......... being so close, I am sure there is more than we imagine.....
