Hi Laurence,
Thanks for yr email.

I can't quite work out where you fit in the family tree so am not sure who yr grandfather or the others were, but its great that you have photos from so long ago. I was v. surprised to get photos of James Coole and Judith Maxwell. They look very buttoned up, prim and grim, but also affluent.
I realised after sending that last email that I have others that might be more relevant to yr tree - such as Emily J Kneale the daughter of Wm H Kneale and some of her sisters. Also of her children but thats probably getting too distant from yr tree.
I visited the Manx Civil Registry only last month but didn't have much time and didn't find much I didn't already know - except that Judith and James had a few more children than I'd thought. As for yr queries I don't know off the top of my head but will look via my notes and contact someone who might know.

By the way, I'm in Lancashire. I imagine you're in the IoM but then again it could be S Africa or Australia or who knows where!

I'll be in touch again.
Best wishes,
Lorna
