William Corkill, Braddan, Baptism Record

I am trying to determine the father William Corkill (of Braddan), who married Alice Cannon (of Onchan) on 6 October 1739. It looks like their children were born over the time span from 1740 to 1758. So, I assume he must have been born some time between 1710 and 1725. Some time ago, Frances helped me find his will (1781-2 E “4 sep 1781;douglas;sons thomas,peter;dau isabel;wife alice als cannon exex. The logical choices for his baptism record would be: William Corkill born to Thomas in Braddan 15-7-1694,William Corkill born to William in Braddan 26-2-1710, or William Corkill born to Finlo in Onchan 31-3-1717. But there are also a number of Andreas, Lezayre, and Maughold born William Corkills between 1693 and 1721. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
