Manx Genealogy

Re: Abode called "Manchester" in Onchan

Yes, Oates is mistranscribed as Gates. The IGI birth record indicates September 1843, and baptism October 1843 (St Georges). The birth record was obtained some time ago and I am unable to locate this same record in the present familysearch.org IGI index, and I am also concerned with the inclusion of St George in this same birth record. Does this not imply a christening record? A note - Frederick's second christian name is recorded as both Walton and/or Walter.
