Jane,
My name is Michele Duffy, from the USA, and I have been reading your postings with great interest. My sister, Jo-Anne, and I are going to the Isle of Man on Mar. 2-8th and staying in Port Erin. The reason for our trip is to do family genealogy. Our grandmother, Gertrude Gawne, related stories to us of a relative she was decended from named, Lady Alice Gawne from the Isle of Man. She told us that she was a lady in waiting to a queen; who we do not know. Have you heard of Lady Alice Gawne? If you have any information on her I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. My email addess if michele.duffy@villanova.edu. Thank you so much.
