Dear Jane,
Your news came as a great but pleasurable shock. I have not been dealing with my research for some months now, but fully intend to resume next month. This is what I have so far.
James Hendry the Scotsman
In November 1784, James Hendry, a merchant, born in Inverness but established in the Isle of Man for at least twenty years bought from Thomas Callow, House Carpenter a Parcel of Land with a little hose erected on part of it, for the sum of £16 Manx. It lay to the E.N.E. of the Main Street that led down or Northwards towards the old dismantled Fort of Ramsey and adjoining to the rent of the late Deceased John Lewhellin on the North – to the Sea on the East North East – to Wood’s rent on the E.S.E and to the main Street on the W.S.W. The Cottage on Intack on the Mooragh side of Ramsey. Two things to point out here: one, the Mooragh meaning the wasteland by the sea was not just confined to the present day situation North of the river; two, drastic changes have occurred in this area of Ramsey and the location of this site is roughly where the present day swimming pool is.
It would seem that he had a Brewery up and running by the following year as the brewery is mentioned in a sale of deed for an intack of land by the S.E. Gable of Mr. Hendry’s Dwelling House and Eastwards to the Brewery Gate at the Malt Kiln in June 1787. In 1789 James Hendry the Elder of Ramsey, Brwer, and his wife Ann Hendry, alias McGill borrowed £523 13s. 6d. to Mr. William Leece of Liverpool offering as bond his House, Brewery, Malt Kiln etc. Something went wrong however and we read in the Manks Mercury of 19-11-1793 the following notice: “James Hendry of Ramsey requests a Meeting of his Creditors at Clague’s Hotel in Douglas on Wednesday 27th. Inst. When Proposals will be made which he hopes will be accepted. Whether they were accepted or not we next hear from Feltham that the town has a public brewery and that Mr. Hendry was running one of the two principal inns, namely the King’s Arms. This is located on the site of his former brewery. In 1799 the Hendrys came to a settlement with William Leece. Since borrowing £523 13s. 6d. ten years before he then owed with interest £731 and sold the property to William Leece.
Henry and Ann were married on 8th. January 1762. They had fourteen children: two sons, Jonathan and John died young, James Henry survived them; as did three daughters, Ann born in 1769 (married William Stowell in 1799 and had a son William Hendry Stowell the following year), Esther christened in 1771 and Catherine christened in 1779. The latter daughter became a woollen and linen draper in Ramsey as she is mentioned James Hendry the Scotsman
