Hello

could anybody please help me or point me in the right direction?

I've just started doing my Manx side of my family tree (my Nanas) and I dont know where to start.

I know that my Nanas mum was from the Isle of Man and had family in Laxey and Im sure that her father was from there too. They had their children in Manchester which is where they lived till they died, but both of my grandparents, my Mum and I have enjoyed holidays back to the Isle of Man and visiting family - I was just a little too young too remember where abouts we were visiting people.

I have searched UK for the marriage between Helen Quine and William Stowell but cannot find it. My Nana was born in 1924 and was the eldest. My grandparents married in the mid 1940s and both Helen and William are on the pictures and look to be in their 50's? They are also on my parents wedding pitcures in 1970 and I would say Helen was possibly in her 70s by this point.

Can anyone tell me or point me to where i would look for births or marriages please?

Thank you very much
