Quirk Family of Port St. Mary

I am researching my Grandmother's Family - Quirk of P.S.M

1861 C. Peter Falor 63, Margaret F. 67, Isabella F 23 & Walter Anderson lived at 22 Gansey

1881 C. Miriam Quirk (my grandmother) was 4
Isabella Quirk 43
Walter Anderson 23
Edward 10
Isabella (Isabel) 8
Sarah 6

1901 C John Quirk 62 His 1st appearance (he was a fisherman),Isabella, & Sarah's son Wilfred (born in Liverpool in 1900)

1911 C Isabella was a widow, Sarah and Wilfred still living at the Smelt
My great Aunt Isabel was on the Census as a Cook/Housekeeper in London.

Miriam 1876-1947 married Edgar Venables and lived in Bebington, Wirral, Cheshire. (Edgar remarried in the 1950's, another Manx woman called Maggie Cregeen) who had relatives in Heswall on the Wirral. I remember visiting her house in IOM as a child but it wasn't in PSM. Their daughter Ruby(1919-1991), my mother, like me spent summers at Aunt Isabel's house - Bay Ny Carrickey, Beach Road. PSM

About 15 years, by chance, on a ferry from Rotterdam from Hull, I got into conversation from a lady from Liverpool who said her mother Pauline Quirk was researching her family - I contacted her and sent copies of photographs but heard nothing. Quirk is a common surname.

My parents were married at Kirk Rushen in 1944 (my mother was living with her Aunt Isabel at the Smelt and was teaching, probably in Douglas. Witnesses were Willie Quillan and Freida Callister. I was baptised there in 1950

I have photographs of a Beauty Queen Cathye taken in 1936.

Lifeboat Day 1932 (the Quirk Family were crew).

Dad (JohnQuirk?) with Jack's 3 boys.

An album from1932 with pictures of Tom Madrell, Billy Teare - Gardener at Ballasherlogue (Isabel was Housekeeper ?) for Mr.Gawne, Kathleen Costain, Nancy & Frank Oats and Mrs. Oats, Sarah Parr and the Hills (1934) Ronnie & Jimmy and Marion (& Katie the horse!!)
A wedding group including Miriam and Isabel - looks like early 1900's
I would gladly send anyone copies of these photos.

My mother had a list of names and dates - Ambrose Sept 1869 - I have found an Ambrose in the 1891 C & 1911 on fishing vessels - I wondered if he was also a child of John & Isabella, P. Taylor 1797, Walter Taylor 1909.
Thank you for any help.
