Sorry to hijack the heading but maybe some listers will miss this particularly interesting fact that there is a Braddan Book 2 which may hold details of our elusive ancestors in the Manx Museum!
Does anyone know what dates this book contains please?
Forgot to mention in my last posting as well as looking for the parents of James ALEXANDER have not been able to find his wifes, my Gtx5 Grandmothers Elizabeth BRIDSON parents also. They married in Maughold and raised their family in Braddan - so maybe one of them was originally from there?
In the list of Douglas Householders 1730 there was a Hugh Alexander and Catherine/Katherine nee Kermode. Thomas Alexander is also another possible Father to James. So at this stage I am assuming Elizabeth may have been from Maughold and the Alexanders from Braddan.
