In the midst of play I was snatched away
Through God's infinate love from parents who loved me ever dear
and friends who loved me sincere to brighter realms above
Also of WILLIAM GIBSON BRINE who died December 15th 1903 aged 48 years

She was probably d/o William Oates and Mary Simmons/Symonds who md 25 May 1856 Braddan

Wm G seems to be b 3 Aug 1855 Malew, ch 9 Sep 1855 St Mary's Castletown s/o William Brine mariner and Sarah Gibson who md 6 Aug 1846 Malew.
William was b abt 1819, census says in Rushen but I don't find him in the IGI.
Sarah remarried Thomas Kelly in Braddan 13 Aug 1867
