Re: samuel goodwin moor information......

possibly from your heading - in my dictionary More means a larger amount, moor means from North Africa and I must admit I read it as Moore which is a classic Manx name - especially as I could find no Sam Goodwin in the 1881 census

To find a grave go first to Manx Museum, there consult the Memorial Inscription's published by the Family History Soc - against each is a reference number and at the start of each book is a map showing where each grave is located

Dont worry re stepping on anyone - they are long dead and buried (joke!) - however assuming it is Braddan new yard than it is only those buried before c.1900 in the bit near the road that are, I found, almost impossible to access - you need walking boots, thick leggings and a small scythe to cut away brambles - the rest are easy via the paths. Braddan old yard is rather dangerous in spots when it is wet as it can be very slippery.

However I would strong advise spending a hour or so in Museum Library - go in main door, turn left, straight past the talking rock, through the shop and continue past the gents till you reach the door into the library on your right.
