should have also mentioned that many Catholics had both a CofE marriage + a Catholic one as the former avoided some problems if the validity of their marriage was queried - also I think a CofE baptism (or reception into congregation as even the most rabid of anticatholic vicars should have accepted the Catholic baptism as valid in religious sense) made it easy to get into the local school which on Island was usually run by CofE until state education came in in early 1870s - there was a Catholic school with good reputation in Douglas.
