Bradden, I.O.M. he started to translate the Bible into the Manx language at the

tutor to Lord Huntley and accompanying him as fellow commoner to Cambridge and
on the Grand Tour of the Continent he married and later, 1795, became Vicar of
Ardleigh. Fearing his village might be caught up in fighting during the
Napoleonic Wars he decided to make a list of all his parishioners. He called at
every house and cottage and transcribed the information on to 12 pages of the
parish register. This information forms the basis of the book by F.H. Erith
Ardleigh in 1796", 1978.
