J J Kneen's chapter on nicknames in his 1937 'Personal Names of the Isle of Man' reprinted almost verbatim what A W Moore had written in his 1890 'Surnames and Place-Names of the Isle of Man', but with some additions and alternatives. We look a
Having started with J B Keig's nicknames in Ballaugh, we've moved on to A W Moore's thoughts on nicknames throughout the Island. As we find out, that work from 1890 was the framework for what J J Kneen had to say about nicknames in his book fro
A W Moore is perhaps getting a bit enthusiastic in researching the parish registers for nicknames, as he seems to want to include descriptions that have been added to give a little extra information about people mentioned. However, we do come o

After looking at a collection of nicknames used in the parish of Ballaugh from about 1860 to 1900, collected by Mr J B Keig in 1933, we go back to the work of A W Moore, printed in 1890, and first dealing generally with the theme of nicknames,
We come to the end of the booklet by Mr J B Keig with his collection of nicknames used in Ballaugh parish in the period 1860 to 1900. It concludes with a postscript by Mr Keig, giving us a fascinating glimpse of the personalities of some of the
In 1933 Mr J B Keig published a booklet of nicknames used in Ballaugh to distinguish between so many people who had similar surnames (though probably unrelated) and forenames. It provides an interesting social history of the parish in the perio
J B Keig published a booklet in 1933 of nicknames used by the inhabitants of Ballaugh between 1860 and 1900, when there were unrelated families with the same surname and forenames were often of a small range, so people were identified individua
We've looked at a Forward that was added by Charles Craine and Mark Braide to a booklet that was republished in 1940 about Nick Names of Ballaugh, and we've also looked at the original Preface by J B Keig when the booklet was published in 1933.
