Ian,

Thanks for your post. I have tracked the Career records of James Burnett and John James Burnett and they both worked in several Scottish Lighthouse's. James Burnett cam back to IOM in 1878 to run the Chicken's Lighthouse!

Its his Wife, Catherine Sayle and his son John James (who went to Japan! to help them with Lighthouses in 1878...Daughter Jessie born at sea!) whom I would love to firm up birth dates or certificates if such things still exist on IOM?

Really appreciate your help.

Andy
