found marriage in Bride, but children in Michael

Have found a marriage of Ann Joughin to James Clauge on the 17 Nov 1750 in Bride via the IOM parish registers via Familysearch.
The children of this couple seem to be baptised in Michael. William, Daniel, Elizabeth and I think could be at this stage the parents of my Mary Clauge bapt 1764 Michael, who married John Cain in 1796 again Michael.

Q 1. Bride seems to be at the top of the Island and Michael sort of in the middle on the left hand side, would this be normal to be married such a distance from where children get baptised ?

Also have noticed on LawsonBMD site , not many burials or details (eg age mentioned), regarding Michael parish registers. But have noticed that the IOMFHS does have a burial register booklet.

Q2. are there more burials and details in the IOMFHS booklet compared to what has been transcribed onto the Lawson's web site or even Familysearch site for the parish of Michael ?

I seem to have a couple of generations in Michael before they moved to German, so trying to sort out what is available. I am now a member of the IOMFHS and have purchased a few of the burial CD's which have been very helpful but not the booklets as yet.
thanks in advance. Ailsa
