kay,
are you researching Collisters? The Florence Elsie Collister you mention was my great aunt who was a teacher at Murray's Road school for, I think, about 40 years. Margaret and Thomas were her parents. He was a draper for the most part and she ran the Coffee Palace in Douglas in later life. I'm looking into this branch of the family at the moment - do we have a connection?
