Biography

Vicar of Malew who in 1779 translated the SPG appeal into Manx for distribution to the parishes. The translation survives as Manx Museum manuscript 224a. Fourteen years after the Revestment, Manx was still the working language of the church in the parishes — the language in which you told people things that mattered, because they could not understand them in any other.
