London Manx Newsletter NEWSLETTER Autumn 2019 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton London Manx assemble in numbers All roads led to Holborn and the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel on the first day of June and a couple of dozen members of the London Manx Society got together for their annual lunch that has been held there for a number of years, even before it changed its name from the Bonnington. Those attending were Elaine Abraham, Douglas and Margarita Barr-Hamilton, Robin and Voirrey Carr, Stewart Christian, Bryan and Sheila Corrin, Mike and Pam Fiddik, Colin and Edna Flint, Maron Honeyborne, Margaret Hunt, Alastair Kneale, Wendy Kneen, Peter and Sally Miller, Margaret Robertson, Sam Weller, Jim and Sue Wood with its guest of honour John Callow and Melissa. After an excellent meal, Dr. Callow, a Manx writer and historian gave a fascinating and informative talk providing an insight into the life of the Manx people under the 7th Earl of Derby, "Yn Stanlagh Mooar," especially during the English Civil War when they were subject to near absolute rule, conscription into the army and, through neglect of the land, near starvation: suffering that helped islanders to see themselves as a nation. A brief ceremony followed in which Bryan Corrin, the society's president for the past three years handed over the office to Alastair Kneale and then a raffle in which Bryan won the top prize, again generously donated by the IOMSPCo, that will enable him and his wife Sheila to take their car to the Island and enjoy Ellan Vannin itself and not just the song with which the afternoon closed. Summer Cooish in Cambridge Not having yet returned from a trip to be on the Island for Tynwald Day, the Society's new president Alastair Kneale missed its traditional Tynwald Cooish again held at the home of Sally and Peter Miller in Cambridge, this year on 13th July. Our secretary also missed the afternoon. With no prior warning, he suffered what the doctors called, "Arthritic flare" in his right knee and was admitted to the North Middlesex Hospital where he was detained for four days while the swelling and pain reduced but, after a couple of weeks back at home, made a complete recovery. Indeed, he says that the knee is better than it has been for years. Most of the usual guests were able to get there fortunately and had a most enjoyable afternoon, the great company fed by delights brought by the guests themselves and wonderfully augmented by Sally and Peter. Those present were Stewart Christian, Bryan and Sheila Corrin, Rose Fowler and her grandson, Maron Honeyborne, Fran Higson, Peter Nash, Sam Weller and Maureen Wigley. DBH Mhelliah This year's Mhelliah will be Monday 14th October with the service again being held at St Bride's Church, Fleet Street starting at 12 noon and led by society member and lay reader Nick Alexander. After the service we shall saunter to the nearby Punch Tavern for lunch. There we will enjoy the tavern's pub lunch having advised Sam Weller by Wednesday 9th October and undertaking to pay him £20 per person to cover the main course, juice, coffee or tea. Desserts, sides and other drinks will not be included in the £20. Main courses need to be pre-selected by the previous Thursday (10th) so confirmation of attendance should be given to him before then please. An application form accompanies this newsletter with contact details. DBH Cleveland Manx Society In our last newsletter we mentioned that the North American Manx Association had lost contact with the Manx community in Cleveland, Ohio and asked if any London member knew any member in the city. We have heard of none. It would be a shame if all trace of descendants with Manx ancestry were lost for, as John Quirk points out in his book, "The Manx Connection," published in 2007, the Cleveland Manx are the oldest ethnic group in America dating back to 1851. Indeed, their arrival might be well before that as J H Kinvig's history of the island tells of the influence of Manxman, Dr. Harrison, at one time on the medical staff of the British army, who travelled in the area in around 1820. Later he returned to the Island, where his brother, Rev. J. E. Harrison, had become Vicar of Jurby in 1818, a living he held until 1858, and gave him very encouraging accounts of the district on the south side of Lake Erie foreseeing a prosperous future for it. It was a time when many small farmers and labourers, particularly of the northern parishes of Jurby, Andreas and Bride, as well as Kirk Michael and the area round Peel, were finding life very difficult owing to adverse economic and social conditions affecting agriculture and fishing, not least Bishop George Murray, nephew of the 4th Duke of Atholl, imposing the tithe on potatoes that led to riots in November 1825. That same year the Erie Canal was opened and it became possible to travel by boat from New York to Albany on the Hudson River and onward by canal via Rochester to Buffalo on Lake Erie and then on the lake to Cleveland. It's likely, therefore, that they were easily persuaded by these stories of new lands in America awaiting development and many decided to emigrate. Kinvig records the diary of one Thomas Kelly who left the Island on 6th July, 1827 along with his father, sister, wife and five daughters and ten other Manx people. Their aim was to seek fortune in the New World. Kelly records how the previous day he had made a special journey to see ‘the ancient ceremonies on Tynwald Hill and secretly took from its lowest round one little handful of that earth which has seen maybe, and heard, more history than any other spot on the Island.’ Their journey to New York from Liverpool took 63 days and they needed another seventeen to reach Painesville, Ohio, travelling via the Erie Canal. He writes that passing through Rochester they had ‘a joyful meeting’ with several Manx people, proving that other emigrants had already preceded them on this route. Other surviving documents tell of Thomas Kelly who left Doolough (Dollagh Mooar?) Farm, Jurby, in 1827 and of Daniel Caley, also of Jurby, who left in 1831. The Isle of Man Examiner of Saturday, August 7th, 1897 carried an interview with a visiting American academic, Henry Hanby Hay, who told them how two years earlier he had met lawyer, Mr W Sheldon Kerruish and had been told the origins of the Manx community in Cleveland: too long to reproduce here, it is available in full at the Manx iMuseum and well worth reading. However, it suggests that a Manx clergyman (name forgotten) visited the site of Cleveland before the opening of the Erie Canal then returned to the Island to recommend the opportunities in the area. Hay states there were eighty Manx families in the area in 1826 with an equal number joining them the following year. He recalls how, later, he had met Manx folk there named Caine, Cannell, Corlett, Creer, Curphey, Gawne, Gill, Kelly, Kerruish, Kneale, Quayle, Sayle, Teare and Watterson, If their descendants are still living in or near Cleveland, Ohio, I'm sure the North American Manx Association would love to hear from them. DBH Sources: John Quirk, J H Kinvig, Isle of Man Examiner Ramsey Pier: closing in on first stage Over the past few weeks another big operation has been successfully carried out on Queen’s Pier, Ramsey. Corroded iron girders having been replaced with new steel over the first bank holiday weekend in May, some thirty new larch beams were craned into their approximate position onto the pier’s first bay, a similar number of rotten old timbers from the second bay having been removed: a big lift operation carried out once again with the help of Isle of Man Heavy Crane Services Ltd. Project manager Stuart McKenzie said that Restoration Trust volunteers would now be able to fix the new beams in place ahead of the wooden stringers going down followed by the decking being laid. This will complete the restoration of the pier’s first bay: a landmark which Mr McKenzie expects will be reached a little before the end of this year. Another important milestone took place last week when the newly-installed steel passed its formal inspection. Meanwhile fundraising continues apace with the Trust not far short of the £50,000-60,000 needed to order replacement steelwork for bays two and three. Fundraising for this community project has involved some innovative ideas including schemes to sponsor a plank and sponsor a stanchion. All the materials required to complete the first bay have been purchased but the volunteers are still waiting for all of the 36 cast iron grids to be returned from being refurbished. All the planks and all 38 stanchions for the first three bays have now been sold out. Sponsors receive a certificate and an inscribed plaque. The last two stanchions were sponsored by the Clague family from Belgium whose great, great grandfather owned the foundry in Ramsey which cast much of the pier deck’s iron furniture. A major fundraiser took place at Harbour Bistro in East Quay in mid August which raised in excess of £6,000 towards the pier’s restoration. The Queen’s Pier Restoration Trust signed a five-year lease with the government in July 2017 to begin work on bringing the long-closed Victoria landmark back to life. This lease and the subsequent granting of planning consent covers the restoration of the first three bays which forms phase one of the project.

    GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it.

  • THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a Newsletter Primarily for the Model Railway Fraternity
    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 6 no 5 May 2018 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial This month’s North Star Chronicles is a bit of a cheat insofar as the primary feature is the Isle of Man and the meat of the article thereon was written while I was editor of the Workbench, the newsletter of the Durban Society of Model Engineers. In my defence I cite the fact that I was away for much of April so time to draft a new NSC was limited. Be that as it may, the subject is dear to my heart. For those interested in railways, particularly steam operated narrow gauge ones, and tramlines, and who are looking for a prototype to model which runs on either 32mm or 45mm track, look no further. I highly recommend a visit to the Island. One piece of advice, do so in the British ‘summer’ and take an umbrella and raincoat. It rains a lot on the Isle of Man! The Isle of Man Located in the middle of the Irish Sea, from the top of the highest ‘mountain’ (formerly accessible by tram) on a clear day the 4 home countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Island are visible. The Isle of Man was originally settled by Celts and Vikings. It is difficult to find the exact words to describe the island but time capsule is certainly apt with respect to some of its transport facilities.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’.

    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • Groudle Glen, One of the Island’S Best Known Tourist Attractions, Doesn’T Have Many Buildings – but Almost the Whole Glen Has Been Shaped by the Hand of Man
    14 ISLE OF MAN EXAMINER www.iomtoday.co.im Tuesday, June 6, 2017 BUILDINGS AT RISK Where there’s a wheel there’s a way ... Groudle Glen, one of the Island’s best known tourist attractions, doesn’t have many buildings – but almost the whole glen has been shaped by the hand of man. Chris Callow, an undergraduate student of history & heritage at University College Isle of Man, describes the history of the glen and its buildings, and how both are at risk. roudle glen to- day is a popular spot for walkers, who probably don’t stop to ponder how such a well-wood- Ged area came into being. It is down to one of the giants of the island’s Victorian tour- ist industry, Richard Maltby Broadbent. Born at Bibaloe Beg in On- chan in 1850, Broadbent be- came engaged in extensive property development in Douglas, notably constructing and operating the Pavilion on Harris Promenade, famously replaced by the Gaiety Theatre which has survived to this day, thanks to Government inter- vention in 1971. So successful was Broad- bent that in 1894 he commis- sioned Mackay Hugh Baillie Richard Maltby Broadbent (Manx Musuem) Scott to design his home Ivy- dene at Little Switzerland, Douglas. Much information about the early family came to light recently when the cur- rent owner of Ivydene discov- ered in the loft and restored to RMB’s great-grandsons the Broadbent family bible. Broadbent worked closely with Frederick Saunderson, a civil engineer responsible for early property development in Ramsey, who was also closely associated with Baillie Scott.

  • 2016 General Election Statistics Summary
    2016 General Election Results It must be born in mind that, as each voter had two votes, which they may or may not have used, the only sure reflection of a candidate's support is the percentage of the potential vote in the constituency. This transpired to yield the same order of support when expressed as a percentage of the entire electorate This tends to endorse boundary reforms but the fact that Chris Robertshaw (Central Douglas) was elected with 42% of the most popular LOSING candidate's vote, shows that the system is a long way off being right Ordered by result as % of electorate Robertshaw Name Votes % of votes cast % of electorate Result Factor Dr Alex Allinson 2946 53.19 % 51.45 % Elected 0.22 Juan Watterson 2087 36.19 % 38.32 % Elected 0.30 Ray Harmer 2195 41.91 % 37.29 % Elected 0.31 Alf Cannan 1736 42.25 % 35.54 % Elected 0.32 Martyn Perkins 1767 36.35 % 34.86 % Elected 0.33 Tim Baker 1571 38.23 % 32.17 % Elected 0.36 Chris Thomas 1571 37.31 % 32.13 % Elected 0.36 Geoffrey Boot 1805 34.46 % 30.67 % Elected 0.37 Bill Shimmins 1357 33.54 % 30.53 % Elected 0.38 David Ashford 1219 32.07 % 27.79 % Elected 0.41 Carlos Phillips 1331 32.39 % 27.25 % 0.42 Howard Quayle 1205 29.78 % 27.11 % Elected 0.42 Ralph Peake 1177 30.97 % 26.84 % Elected 0.43 Lawrie Hooper 1471 26.56 % 25.69 % Elected 0.45 Rob Callister 1272 28.92 % 25.46 % Elected 0.45 Kate Beecroft 1134 36.01 % 25.22 % Elected 0.45 Daphne Caine 1270 26.13 % 25.05 % Elected 0.46 Andrew Smith 1247 25.65 % 24.6 % 0.47 Paul Craine 1090 26.94 % 24.52 % 0.47 Laurence Skelly 1212 21.02
