SHIMMANS/RULER Family

Whilst searching for my Ruler family on the IOM, I have found that William aged 19 a cabinet maker,was living with Philip b1791 and Margaret b1786 SHIMMANS in Hensingham Cumberland. Both Philip and Margaret were born on the IOM, information taken from the 1851 census. Is anyone researching this family and is SHIMMANS a Manx name. Any help gratefully received. Beryl
