sorry didn't read the initial message fully - I thought recognised the fairly unusual name as one of the WW1 dead - my apologies but as this M/B doesn't allow later edits I couldn't remove the post.
His name but no details other than residence St Johns can be found on the www.imuseum.im site (tho that site drives me mad with what on surface looks great but is absolutely awful when you try to drill down for details) searching for War memorials
however can't find his name in the 1911 IoM census nor on www.manxbmd.com
