Hi Dave I,m afraid I have no further information to offer. He just doesn,t seem to have existed. He married Jane Radcliffe (b1814), daughter of John and Catherine(Callister); My grandmother, Emma Gawne, was born in Brooklyn, U.S.A. during a family visit to relatives (dn,t know which side) but later returned to IOM. I,m really butting my head against the wall on this one. Any clues you have would be appreciated. Thanks, Dorothy
