"True Frances" I could not agree more : time for a refurbishment of my site .. after ten years.. however the nicknames etc. etc seems to me an English input due my lack of Manx history at the time in 1994. My J.J. Kneen's and Quilliams Manx names has inspired me to new horizons through to present day,and the etc/ etc was I believe a statement refering to so many many people named the same in a small community, it was better to give them nicknames in that time. I can see the point at times,since 1994 I know off two other Brian Kneen's...one in the Isle of Man in the 1930's in Kirk Rushen before me 1936 and one in the U.S.A. this last centuary 1990's

I am just glad I have another two christian names !!

I shall refurbish my site with the Scottish connection do not worry in the near future.If you would like a another snippet many Manx names are associated with the Scottish Clans and I do have the source!!
