Lighthouse keepers (except for Douglas Head prior to 1860'sh) were employees of Northern Commissioners of Lights (Edinburgh) - they would generally be on Man for a short period (not sure if on rotation or promotion) - apart from that one quoted Souter doesnt appear on my site - most were Scots
(for 1837 you are probably looking at the Calf of Man lights)
