[1] Moaney Mollagh— Broderick.
G., in ‘Place Names of the Isle of Man; Volume 2; Sheading of Michael (Kirk Michael, Ballaugh and Jurby)’ gives the translation ‘rough turbary’ for a Moaney Mollagh in Kirk Michael. It is hard to see why this was translated as ‘boney ballagh’. The name Moaney Mollagh in Onchan was not obscure—it appears in IOM deed Requisition Book 1 in 1848 and Requisition Book 12 in 1892.
[2] Skeiley—a variant spelling of ‘The Parish Church of ...’, certainly not ‘S(aint) Keiley’, as Conaghyn (standard spelling Conchan) is the parish saint in this case.
