I think a birth cert is needed. Someone suggested that Polly North was probably his mother but i hadn't thought of her as Mary as it was quite often in those days.

Hi
I have just come across your post while looking for information on Charlotte Wyllie Miller. I only have her on the 1881 census. Apart from her Christening she doesn't appear on the Isle of Man records.any ideas. I do know that her brother David Miller was living with his aunt and uncle Mary and John Hart at Stubshaw Cross Ashton in Makerfield in 1901. He was taken in by them after his mother Jessie  Casey Miller died in 1898.  I realise you are looking for something totally different to me, but wondered if you had anything on Charlotte.
Thankyou
Joyce

Thanks anyway

Thanks for the information. After i had posted the request and read a little more about reformatories i realized that there probably wasn't one on the island. The boy James Casey McFarlane aged 9 was sentenced to 5 years in a reformatory. In 1901 he appears again  living in Liverpool. I presume this is where he would have been sent.

Could anyone tell me the name of the Reformatory on the island around 1895. One of my husbands ancestors was sent there for stealing 4s in copper and 7 corsets. He was 9 years old. His name was James Casey McFarlane and he lived in Douglas.
His grandfather Martin Casey was a cutler and umbrella maker in Duke street Douglas until his death in 1874 when his wife took over the business. I am looking for early directories or anything that would tell me when he opened his shop. Any help would be gratefully received
