Part of my research involves a Richard QUIRK, b./christ. 22 May 1814, at Kirk German (Patrick), Isle of Man. He was the proprietor of the Cumberland Inn (Tavern) at 3 James Street area of Douglas (also known as Moores Court – Clagues Court – James Place). He appears to have been the proprietor for about 20 years from 1861 onwards. He was married to an Elizabeth Roper during his time at the Pub, but may have been married previously, as 2 of his children (Annie & Richard are shown in the 1861 census as 19yrs & 15 yrs of age, both born in Liverpool). These children do not appear in the 1871 census, although the rest of the family is shown at the Pub in the 1871 and 1881 census. Any knowledge of this family, the pub or where I can find photos of it would be much appreciated.
