The Quayle family purchased land in the Onchan Parish on the Isle of Man around the year 1866, where they would eventually build a home. The land was located in the southeast corner of the intersection between the roads "Royal Avenue" and "Royal Court." The mother of the Quayle family kept a diary in which she mentioned that the Church they attended each week was practically in their backyard.

• Scroll down until you see a list of parishes, and click on the "Onchan" parish link.
• In the Onchan Parish page, scroll down to the Maps heading and click Old Maps Online. (The family lived in the year 1866, so other modern maps will not be as useful.)
