If you're looking for Manx names it doesn't always indicate where they or their ancestors hail from. Lots of Manx people don't have Manx names, T.E. Brown, Archibald Knox, Midshipman Heywood, Alan Bell, Tony Brown, Miles Walker, Kelly from the Isle of Man to name a few. My Grandad had a Manx surname but was born in Liverpool.

I think some people would be quite upset not to be considered Manx if their family have been here for over 100 years? Manx name or not, I'd consider them Manx for the purpose of this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be their own surname. As long as they have someone in their immediate family tree within the past few generations with a Manx surname (or maiden surname) then that's fine. Otherwise, they can cry all they like, but they're not Manx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
