Frances,

Many thanks so far , I have now received new information that my Thomas Kneen shown buried 30 th may 1852 in the I of Man FHS Kirk Braddan Register of Burials book four 1849 - 1981 . WAS in fact in this famous missing BOOK 2 found by the Museum. I think by chance by my agent on the Island last month.

So I am now thinking could the Kirk Braddan poor / pauper burial registers be in this book 2 ref: my poor Great Great Grand Mother Christian Kneen ( nee Crow ) I will on return of my agent to the island gladly take this new search of Christian Kneen further, and publish here for everyone's interest.

There could be many folk thinking no record and it is all in this book 2 ??

I still say it is so sad these poor people were treated so badly in the times of 1870's and earlier.

Here's too more good news from home.

Best wishes
