In researching my Cain side of the family I found that my g-g-grandfather Nelson Cain had married Sarah Ovens on 30 May 1824 in Braddan, IOM. His parents were Thomas & Catherine (Cretney) Cain. They were married 23 April 1803, St. George, Douglas, IOM. I am now trying to locate Thomas' parents and I have found two likely candidates.

John T. Cain & Isabel Kewely were married 29 January 1774 and had a son Thomas born 9 July 1779 in Kirk Braddan.

Thomas Cain & Catherine Corkill were married 13 October 1777, Maughold, IOM and had a son Thomas born 16 February 1783, Maughold, IOM.

Is there anyone who is familiar with either of these sons and can help me connect the right son to Thomas & Catherine Cretney? I am also interested in knowing about the Cretney's side of the family.
