Thank you Francis, I will email them. I wanted to see if there was a Garrett conection.
A report in the Ramsey courier on the death and funeral of Mr John Garrett who died 2/1/1926 states " the family from which he sprung has been associated with the fortunes of the island for at least three centuries, as the history of the estate of ballabrooie will show, and further evidence of the antiquity of the family and also its extent can be found in many a northern churchyard, and particularly in that of Lezayre".
We had been told the family was connected with the Ballabrooie estate, but no one knew where the connection was.
The newspaper reports also, that he occupied the position no. 1 on the book of the Loyal Good Anchorage lodge of Oddfellows.
You were doing some work recently at the museum on Garretts, Do you have anything on cd for sale.
