Steve, The names of John Llewellyn, esq. of Peel and Capt. John Llewhellin make me wonder if they might be connected to our mystery woman ? Llewellyn or Llewellyn ? It would seem most likely that Llewellyn would have been her maiden name rather than a first name. Let me know if you have any other thoughts. since my trip to IOM has been set for the end of April rather than July, I'd like to go armed with as many clues as possible.
