Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find descendants of a Chalmers family that moved to the IOM in the 1890's. According to my research they were the only Chalmers family there for at least a few decades. I'm trying to confirm a link that one of their girls eloped to Australia (my g grandmother). I believe another one married into the Bregazzi family. Any Manx out there know the family?

Thanks
Adrianne

Thankyou DJDouglass!

Am I reading this correctly, is Sarah WILSON also a daughter of Joseph and Florence CHALMERS?

The inscription doesn't indicate Sarah's relationship to Joseph or Florence.
