Adrian, I was given genealogy notes that were written down by a cousin I personally never knew. It says that a Thomas Kermode was born in early 1800's to William Kermode and Mary Skelly (Skeally) of Malew. He had four sisters and two brothers, but the only information on Thomas was that he had married but he had found no trace of him in Malew. He believed he had moved. Some seem to have stayed in Malew. At least one then went to Braddan and his family to Peel where they were shoe/Boot makers. I have never found a record of William and his wife, but could this be your family? Libby
