Sample Record Isle of Man 1680 - 81

These pages are typical of extant records from the Isle of Man.  The samples here are from Maughold Parish.  I have spent 24 hours reading records before these, which are even harder to read.

See if you can find Wm Looney in the 1680 list.  Then try to find Jo: Looney in the 1681 list.

But what are they for ??  And is Jo:  for John or Joseph?
