The Robert James Kermeen to whom I refer is now about 94 yrs old, and was a former Superintendent of the IOM police. His father was William James (Willie) Kermeen, a farmer, of Ballahowin, Orrisdale, who died in 1971. Willie had 2 brothers, Edward Teare Kermeen, (Ned) and John Kermeen. They all lived in Ballaugh during their childhood. Willie, Ned and John's father was Robert Kermeen, who kept a general store at Ballaugh Bridge (now a house.) He married a Miss Teare (I think Annie.) The names are all so similar to your family's names, that mistakes could be made in compiling a family tree.
