Hi Frances

Is there a registered birth on the Isle of Man for his first born Son (also James Stuart). I think that's my grandad and this link is why I think I have the right man.

From what you say it's quite possible my Great Great Grandfather, James Stuart had a car. Could he have been the first to do this for tourists? That's what the family fable would lead us to believe? Would the timing be right to be the first and would there be any record of this? Would he have to register the car for example?

Also how do I now find out where James Stuart came from. I feel compelled to find out where he is from and who his parents were. If he married Elizabeth would he have given his Father's name on the wedding certificate?
