Hi, I'm trying to trace my mothers fathers family whose surname was Hercules.
Her grandfather Joseph Alexander married a girl in 1873 called Elizabeth Cain who was born on the IOM. They married in Liverpool where Elizabeth had moved with her family.
On the certificate Joseph's father is recorded as Charles a grocer, other than that I have no info on his birth or Charles
According to my mum her grandfather was Greek, all the men went to sea. There is a Charles Hercules apparently an African servant recorded in IOM but probably not a relation of mine.
Is there any trace of a Hercules in IOM pre 1873? thanks ekell3
