been working on Malew Lib assed 1639 (+ with access to 1643 Castletown cottages in paper by Jim Roscow in vol X1 no 1 IoMNH&ASoc 1999)
in the cottage rents (Roscow #128 - a multi tenent 12d rent indicated as infra ballasally ie near Ballasalla) in 1639 Robt Lowney + Tho Lowney are down for 1d each - by 1643 Francis Looney down for 2d (Roscow uses normalised names in his table) - looks as if something changed between 1639 + 1643tho 1643 was the year Earl James introduced a new set of fines and according to Roscow the list of tenents was brought upto date. Any way means I can now search in earlier lib assed and lib vas to trace this family
(quite strange to see a bit of lords rent as the Ballasalla area is Abbey Desmesne)
