Re: Manx names - Kneale and Nelson
In Response To: Manx names - Kneale and Nelson ()

There are several instances of the Hinry/Harrison anglisation seen by comparing baptismal + burial regs - there is one Nelson/Kneale that I know of - the Nelson(ne) name was common in Rushen from 1600 and probably before - in 1799 there is a will Margt Nelson als Maddrell which I think has names reversed as her children in will are all Maddrell and there is good match to burial of a Margt Kneale (as a grandchild is a joint exex I suspect she died an old widow for which category burial under family rather than married name was not that uncommon)
