looking at Brian's comments I suspect a connection with the Army - a small detachment was quartered at Castletown - neither name is Manx, in my list of known watchmakers the name Francis does not occur - nor does it occur (as a surname) in any directory (1811,23 or 37)
An alternative is the custom service
