I need help locating the cities in Isle of Man. I am doing research for a class I am taking on immigration. I am supposed to chose one ancestor and find information on him and then I am supposed to find out what the history was at the time they would have emigrated.

I chose Thomas Quilliam and Carolina Catherine Clucas. I have found their marriage, their births, some of their children in extracted records. I need to know how far apart these towns are--Thomas was born in Malew, marriage in Bradden, Carolina Catherine and the children born in Marown.

It is hard in the USA to find a history of Isle of Man. I would like to find what was happening in the 1820's that would have made people want to leave. I have found an article that told about severe taxation in that period. I also found a ship that brought 130 Manx to the USA and they settled in Ohio. Thomas and Carolina are not listed on that ship that sailed in 1827, but came between their youngest son's birth in 1826 and another son's death in Ohio in 1827.

Are there ships' lists there that might have them listed in that time period--1826 to 1827?

I would appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thank you.
