Looney family -Thank you Avril for your kind response. I have some info on the family history ie; My grt Grandmother and her siblings, 11 - born between 1800/1820, I think all remained on the island. They link up with the Cregeen family. I have almost completed our mainland 'tree' but a lot of work needed with I.O.M. I will follow-up your suggestion re; the sites mentioned. again many thanks & hope to contact you again. Elizabeth Chesney.
