Manx Genealogy

Re: Quakers
In Response To: Re: Quakers ()

Dear Ms. Coakley,
In referring back to the Manx Notebook, William Callow, a Quaker Manxman, who was the main person it seems on the Isle that lead the Quakers, and his wife, who endured terrible persecution. In him stating he was a Manxman, who was really under the laws should have not been banished from the Isle, but was and pleaded his cause, he did finally return and to his farm and died there and donated the burial site at BARRULE. The ferns and overgrowth had overttaken the burial site. I wonder if it is marked as I asked or is there a Memorial marker, of any type, which you can find the site?? I am still researching the CORLETT side, and as stated Joney Corlett Cowle and Margaret Cowle, I would like to know in parish notes, left in the boxes, which they gave the the burial of one Quaker buried in the graveyard, John Preston in Castletown.

Seeing the Quakers were not liked by the Church of England, and brought in heresies, yet the Manx people treated them kindly. I could understand some of the Bishop Barrows ways, he was protecting his flock. but he was off the Isle and with no Manx sermons or proper services for a year.

I am still asking for any descendants of Anne Corlett, waiting on data from several sources, but many have been busy. The Corlett/e. Curleod, seems to go back to 1500's on the Isle.

Kindly yours,

Mrs Rosa
