We have had five wonderfull holidays on the Island because we traced my husbands anceastors back to there.

it is like England was 50 years ago, at least it was when we were last there. They have stricter rules there,

Oh what is the name? As I said earlier, my hubby's ancestors are from there too. Cannons.

Hi Sue, The name is Cannell mainly,also Black, Taylor, and a few others which I can't remember off-hand, we used to belong to the I.O.M. genealogy society. We have a picture of my husbands gt. gt. gt. grandfathers house in Douglas, his son came to Norfolk as a coastguard, raised a family here then went back to the Island on retirement, we found their tombstones.

On one visit there we sat next to Norman Wisdom at a dance, he was 80 at the time and how he could jive.

Lovely place
