South Africa
A number of Manx emigrated to South Africa. In the Manx Church Magazine for March 1895 under notice for Foxdale is found:

A letter has been received from Mr Philip Crellin, Johannesburg, South Africa, enclosing a draft for the sum of £19 l0s for Mrs William Henry Cain. This amount has been handed to her, and was most thankfully accepted. The following is an extract from the letter and the list of subscriptions:-We were very sorry to hear of the death of William Cain, and amongst some of us Manxmen on the estate and other adjoining properties we thought it our duty to subscribe what we could between us, and we have gathered the sum of £12 1s, and hand it over to you, and you can dispose of it to the widow as you think proper: - -Philip Crellin, William Radcliffe, John Quilliam, John Woods, Louis Crellin, Robert Corkill, Walter Corkill, Reginald Kitto, John M. Faragher, R. Skelly, £1 each; James Quayle, Robert Kelly, John Clague and Son, 10s each; Benjamin Wallis, 6s; Edward Quilliam, Thomas Faragher. William Clague, 5s. each
