Extract from the Isle of Man, Family History Society
Andreas is the only one of the 17 original parishes, which is named after one of the Apostles - Andrew. Almost all of those parishes were named after the Celtic Irish Saints. When the parish first occurs in written record, in the Manorial records of 1515, it appeared as Andrea and the last of the native Gaelic speakers always spoke of the parish as Skyll Andrea. In the records of the 18th Century, the name is expanded to Andrews.
It is well known that not all names were recorded and sometimes only part names were legible due to deteriation of the Register (damp, mice etc) The IOM FHS could find no entries in the original Burial Register between 22nd April 1686 and 22nd August 1703
Many thanks to the folllowing, Norren Cottier, Elizabeth Clucas, Manx National Heritage Library, Mrs sue Cain (IOM Registry), Brian Irvine, Mrs Carol Carine, Beryl Kinrade and Les skillicorn.
