Back in Shropshire from two weeks on the Island. I wish to pay a public tribute to all the people at The IOMFHS Library in Peel and at the Manx Museum Library nd also at the General Registry. They all of them were very helpful above and beyand what I would think their normal duties were. At IOMFHS and MM I came across further evidence of the work of Brian Lawson and my already high opinion of him has gone up even further, he deserves at the very least a "Blue Peter Badge". I found a small blank wall in my own search in that a Marriage Certificate did not give the names of either parent for either of the parties Do LDS centres have Parish Registers on film pre 1840, alternatively does anyonr know if the Personnel Records for the Union Mills still exist and where they may be?
Finally Frances you said you had a Smart Car, is it that black one with islepfman.com on the back I followed down Queens Pier Road?
Every time I vist this site I am more impressed.
Good hunting everyone
Rick
