Last Updated : 25 Sep 2015

Grenaby is about 3.5 miles north of Castletown and about 1 mile south of Moaney Moar.

A Mrs Jane Halsal was an owner and occupier of property at Grenaby in 1840 based on tithe records. She may be the same Jane Halsall as the one associated with Ballagloney, Arbory between 1841 and 1845 when she died leaving her farm to John Quayle in her will. This Jane Halsall alias Caveen alias Shimmin had married a Thomas Halsall who died before her and she was subsequently named in the land dispute of John Quayle versus John Shimmin.

On the 17th of June 1889 Richard Edward Halsall was resident at Grenaby, when he returned to Malew to marry aged 60. Richard had been born in the parish in 1828, the son of Thomas Halsall and Isabella Quirk but had lived and worked away in England.
