I can't see this Edward Crellin / Mary Ann / Edward age 7 in the IOM 1841 census index, so I looked in England and found this family:

Then I looked for the absent father, Edward, in the death index (no), IOM burial index (no), and the 1841 England census. The mystifying thing is that there is a 30 year old Edward Crellin, blacksmith, in the infirmary in Liverpool as a patient, who could easily be Mary Ann's husband. The page is: Lancashire, Liverpool, Mount Pleasant, District Liverpool Infirmary, page 3.
I'm wondering whether the relationship between John age 36 and Edward age 18 in the 1851 household in Dudley, should be "brother's son", not "brother".
Or I might have got completely the wrong Edward
