Thanks Francis , point taken re posting.

Strangely, I do have an advertisement in a church magazine for the Manxonia. Unfortunately, it just says 'Miss Curphey'.

She was well known I believe in the 40's - perhaps to 60's especially from Douglas South
where she had her properties.

They say, she never got out of her chauffeur
driven car (she was too big) but her tenants would come out and doff their cap (How times have changed).

Members of my family who could have provided the answers are now dead.

Thanks again
