QUAIL family

I am seeking information on an Edward Robert Quail born on IOM. First heard of when he married a Joanna McIntosh in Sydney, Australia 1856. On different documents listed as Ship's Captain, Carpenter, First Mate.
Mother's name could have been Jane Dorey. Edward always signed his name as Quail and not Quayle.
Any information at all would be appreciated.
Regards Lynne
