Then, backtracking to 1841, there’s a Ballacorey Andreas household which includes Elizabeth Teare (who later married James Kelly in 1842) and the James Clarke who was with James and Elizabeth Kelly in 1851, and there’s also a Wm Teare who was probably the one who fathered Sarah Teare in 1846 and went on to marry Sarah’s mother, Jane Looney, in 1849:

In 1851, William Teare b 1828 (father of Sarah b 1846) who had married Jane Looney in Bride in 1849, is probably this one in 1851 Ballaugh, working away from home:

The 11 yr old Thos Cowle is probably the one who was in the same 1841 household as William Teare (with Elizabeth Teare who became Elizabeth Kelly in 1842) in 1841 at Ballacourey, Andreas.

Clear as mud so far ?

*****

If you put the 3 relevant 1851 households together, you have

a) Ballaugh -- William Teare b 1828 working away from home.

b) Andreas, Ballacowrey -- William’s wife Jane nee Looney b 1821 with 2 of William’s children (Sarah 5 and Elizabeth 2 ) and Jane’s daughter Christian b 1842, plus a Thos Cowle who was somehow related (nephew ?) to Elizabeth Kelly alias Teare nee xxxxx (maybe Corlett )

c) Bride -- William’s mother and stepfather, Elizabeth and James Kelly, with James Clarke (who was with Elizabeth at Ballacourey in 1841) and with visitor 4 yr old Sarah Teare who, 10 years later, was described as their granddaughter.

If all the above isn’t just coincidence, I think that this is a rare example of a person being listed in 2 separate households in the same census. My guess is that Sarah normally lived with her mother and siblings, and so was included in their census return ---- but that on census night, she happened to be staying with her Kelly grandmother in Bride and was listed there, too.

*****
As for the 1845 Ramsey baptism of a Sarah Teare to a mother Jane Teare (so probably illegitimate since no father’s name given) --- my guess is that this was a different child who probably became known by her father’s surname. Perhaps someone could look at Ramsey / Maughold presentments for 1845/46, and also Bride and Andreas presentments for 1845-1847.
