Re: The Star Hotel, Strand Street, Douglas

Where may I find 'Mathison'? (Manx Notebook?). I have an interest in the Bridge Inn, The Stanley, The Victoria Hotel where my father , Herbert Clifton Forshaw was born. (all in Ramsey and run by Margaret Sutherland, my gg Grandmother, and latterly, with the help of her daughter Mary Ann Forshaw nee Sutherland and son-in-law, William Henry Forshaw )and the Rest and be Thankful in Slieu Lewaigue. My aunt, Ruby Gwendolie was born there, and she and her brothers and sisters are said to have used the old flat roof as a playground. This has since been replaced by a pitched roof. The last time I saw Rest and be Thankful, 1978'ish, it was undergoing renovation into a private dwelling.
