From "Manx Worthies" by A.W. Moore
"The best known of bonesetters is that of Clucas, of Strang, in Braddan. The first of the Clucases of whom we hear anything was William (b: 1782; d: 1832). An obituary notice of him declares his 'services as a bonesetter, etc., which he practised for so many years with great success, will long be remembered by the inhabitants of this island.' The same profession was carried on by his son and grandson."
Extract from the Manx Advertiser dated 18th September 1832
