What a great result      :)

You can't get much better than graves of people from three generations of a family in a row how considerate they were to their descendants  ;D

This is all pretty amazing.  Thank you so much!  Maughold, huh.  Thank you again.

Pronounced a little like "Mackold"! ;)

When I say it, it sounds like that, but when I spell it, I think of Moregold  ;D

Mack-olled.

The first part sounds like Mc or Mac as in the surname prefix and the second part sounds like lolled but without the l.

I've played some videos where people say it and it mostly sounds to me like Mack-olled. Some people sound slightly different. Variations: Mackled or Mack-alt or Mack-auld (Mack-awld).

Stress is on the first syllable. Mack.

Not to be confused with Ballaugh - ba-laff!!

One of the gravestones says "of The Jallow". I can't find that on any maps. Its alternate and more modern spelling is Jalloo and is still used in full addresses of properties on and around the road to Maughold village. An old newspaper about a fire at a cottage at The Jallow in 1937 describes the cottage location as "on the road from Ballajora to Maughold Church". Jalloo is a Manx word with various meanings: statue, idol, picture ...

Quoting from "The Place-Names of the Isle of Man", J.J.Kneen (original 1925, republished 1970 by the Manx Gaelic Society):

Kirk Maughold
Jalloo
In place-names usually means "a spectre, Phantom, or ghost" (Irish dealbh). This place is one of the particles and probably there was some legend connected with it which gave rise to the name,

A haunted highway and a phantom stagecoach?  ;D Or maybe because it was the road to the parish cemetery?
