Thanks for the info, Frances - I had just found that on the Isle of Man website. A cousin and I are trying to work on the Monear genealogy and we are stuck - we found the info on Jane Quayle and William Moniar however our ancestor was William Monear born about 1808 died 1865 in Illlinois; married to Martha Christian born 1810 - they had 11 children. My great-grandma was one of them - she lived to be 104. We are trying to figure out if and how we are related to this William and Jane Moniar family. I found copy of US 1880 census names of Manx born showing Martha Monear mother; Jane Moniar "other"; William Moniar "other" and John Monier "self". Any suggestions? Thanks so much.
