Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: Check for Plot at Douglas Borough Cemetery
« on: Sunday 10 July 22 14:39 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much for your help and guidance, Kevin. It was lovely to meet you and share genealogy and life stories!
After we left you we went to the Borough Cemetery, paid our respects and planted a rose tree on the grave. So good tp be able to do that before we left to go back home to Somerset.

Good luck with your search Jayne. I have yet to make it to the Isle of Man, but it's on my list!

Thank you!  It's my first time here, and it's a lovely place with friendly people.

So far we've managed to find two houses which the husband's grandparents lived in. And have been invited to look round one of those tomorrow evening!

To visit the grave and pay our respects before we leave would be so good. So thanks again for breaking doown the brick wall and helping us towards achieving that!

Thank you!  We'll head there tomorrow.

I've also passed the information (re confusion of Onchan/Douglas cemetery) on to the parish clerk at St Peter's who may get other queries of this sort.

I have just come across this post having spent hours on our visit to the Isle of Man combing the graveyard at St Peter's Onchan for the grave of my husband's maternal grandparents!  Frederick John McCarthy died at Noble Hospital in Douglas in 1944 but the Ancestry transcript said he was buried in Onchan.  Thank you both for having asked the question and given the answer that the cemetery concerned would be at Douglas!
Unfortunately, we only have a day left on the island, so are unlikely to be able to track down the grave in the time available.
But at least I now know where to look!!

There is a book , free to read , on the site
                    babel.hathitrust.org
which lists the "rebels" who were convicted & then transported to Barbados in 1685 .
Along with their names are their ages , occupations , which prison they had been held in , which ship they were transported on & from which Port , the name of the ship's Captain , and if they survived the journey ( some died & were " buried at sea " - those that died en route are also named )  the date when they arrived / were delivered in Barbados & the name of the person who bought them.
There is also a list of names of those that " survived " their 10 year sentence and were allowed to buy passage from Barbados , with dates , names of the ships and their destinations - some returned to the U.K. but most who left Barbados went to the U.S.

I've been looking for the book Gaynor refers to in her post to help with my research but haven't managed to find it. Has anyone managed to find it? If so, can you point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks
Jayne

In addition to the list of some gravestones in the old Llantwit churchyard, Brian Wagstaffe made a plan of some of the churhyard which is online here:
