Cannells to Norfolk, England

I have recently been told that the Cannells in Norfolk are descended from three brothers who were fishermen in the IOM around 1700.  I am trying to make a link between my Cannell family who were in Norfolk/Essex in the early 1800s and the IOM, as I had been told by my great aunt that our family came from the IOM.  Can anyone confirm this story or have alternatives?
