Duncan Finlayson whose body was taken to Dougals is buried Braddan 27 Mar 1895 - I would have expected the others to be buried in Rushen (see www.manxnotebook.com/gazateer/gyards/cems.htm ) - possibly someone could check in the transcription to see if unknown bodies buried late dec 1894 to jan 1895. Getting a body back off the Calf in January in bad weather wouldn't be easy - there were lighthouse keepers + a farmer on the calf so possibly he was buried there - no temperature controlled mortuaries in those days
