Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: Hannah Welsh

Dear Moya
Thanks for that helpful information. I hadn't realised that Robert Kneale was so young when he married. In fact it's a bit of a mystery how Jane Hay Wells came to be on the Isle of Man as she was born in London. I did not know that civil registration for births did not begin until 1878 as I had assumed it was a similar time to England's. That would explain why I cannot find a record of Hannah/Ann's birth. Could you let me know where you found the information please so that I can add this to my database?
Many thanks
