Secondly, I have categoric proof that the Hills are not Manx. They lived next door to me in London decades ago; he was Jewish from Spitalfields and she was a farmers daughter from near Lambourn in Berkshire.

Did the Hills have ayes?

I did a little research following the recent dating of the death of the museum's Elk to 14,400 years ago. So is there any solid evidence as to the date the island actually separated and became an island? And what is this I hear about a causeway to Cumbria before final separation? Is there evidence for that.

 

I once attended a lecture at the museum in which the speaker confirmed that, pre-ice age, there was a vast salt marsh covering what is today Morecambe bay extending all the way over here. So yes, there was a land bridge. It was flooded by the rising sea levels as the ice melted and retreated. I think this was about 11,000 years ago.
