  5. Their youngest son John was listed as a scholar in the 1871, perhaps an indication that this child was destined for a future beyond the lead mines, at which his two older brothers were already working. Sadly, the boy died when he was 19
  6. William jnr lived in Laxey Glen was was variously described as a hatter or a farmer; his father William snr also lived in Laxey Glen, was a tailor in 1808, and listed in Pigot's Directory 1837 as keeping a public house in Laxey Glen

  8. One of these Williams was an active member of the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Lonan
  9. By the time he died, William jnr had amassed quite a portfolio of property. In the period 1840-1860 he took several mortgages and sold several pieces of land, perhaps making the transition from farm land to urban land. Unfortunately only 4 of their 9 offspring lived to adulthood to share in their parents' good fortune
