Manx Genealogy

Margt Skillicorn als Clark died 1773

In the will of Margaret Skillicorn als Clark, who died at Lonan in 1773, she leaves to her brother William Looney.

"bequests to daughter Margt Kelly, Ellinor Kelly, brother Wm Looney, granddaughter Jane Kermod (whose mother Ann had died in 1755) and grandson James Kelley. Daughter Isabel Nidderagh (husband William) was named executrix"

Margaret is the widow of Thomas Skillicorn of Lonan "of the mountains". I believe her to be the daughter of William Clark and Christian Radcliff (of Andreas?). Who is brother Wm Looney? Does the tern "brother" also refer to brother-in-law?
