thanks frances i have looked at that and also the Balla ?? references my gt grandmother had her address as ballacarooin lonan on her marriage certificate i have found a ballacaroon in bradden any chance they are the same?
i also got a copy of a will for john corkhill watterson cowley while i was over in iom
a couple of months ago i was on bb trying to trace him
i found he married mary ann mylrea in 1891 and had 2 children john richard stanley in1892 and william mylrea in1895
it sounds like he left property in park road douglas and a farm called cronk urleigh in kirk michael any info these places please as i didn't get chance to see them
