Who was Who ?

These pages will include short biographies of various key players in Manx Affairs
An essential qualification is that they are dead!

A master list of all biographies on my site is available; a list of all Memorial Notices carried in Manx Quarterly (1907-1923) is also available. The annual "Who's Who in the Isle of Man" issued from 1925 and a later edition 1938 also provides short biographies.

In 2006 the long anticipated New Manx Worthies was published

A 'job description' for the various leading roles within Manx affairs is also available.
