I am not actively hunting ancestors, the word I would use is sporadically. You have given me a new anecdote to put in the family collective memory, when I am over next month I will ask Aunty Molly if she has heard anything about it. Since Manx Geneologies tend to criss-cross it may be that we are related somewhere along the line. The plan is to go to Kew later this year and have another go at finding the origin of George Green, I think pension records may be the way forward.
Best Wishes
Rick
