Re: Wm Barrie resident of The Cliffs - Cresent- Do

refer to Slack Streets of Douglas -" the duke of atholl adopted this name for his seaboard property between Castle Mona and Strathallen Crescent "
on Sherwood's 1844 map it is called the Crescent Road - the sequence of property in the 1881 census is consistent with the enumerator walking along the bay
The sequence of properties is that between the road off the prom that leads up to little switzerland and tram terminus, remember at the back here are the cliff (one time quarries) - I don't have the 25 inch plan of that part of Douglas to hand but easily checked at Manx Museum
