| Hi Garry!
I have just added you to the 'Green' user group. It doesn't look as though anyone has made contact with you about a family connection but may be soon....

|  Hello Garry,
Yes you certainly do have a very interesting family history as Gillian remarked, and very colourful. Thanks for sharing all this.
I'm interested to know about the Isle of Man connection ..... re your notes..........

Garry - does this mean that you're not sure yet whether Bartholomew was from
the Isle of Man or somewhere in England?
Look forward to seeing you back

| Newspapers etc from the time have him as a "business man from the Isle of Man", but whether he was born there I am not sure....yet! my brother lives in the isle of man so is trying to look at it from that side of the water.
