Brian, 
Thank you for your response. Frances Coakley has pointed out a potential candidate from Browns 1894 directory at Boston House, Woodville Terrace, Douglas. It was always thought that he was a miner, we know that he later became a coachman, but we did not know which mine he worked.
The other coincidence looking at Brown's is James Cain, builder, Woodville House, Woodville Terrace. It is thought that Alice's maiden name was Cain and that her father was a builder.
Can you check out both these addresses in the 1891 census
