Kneale/Neild/Beaumont search

I am trying to find my grandfather Andrew Beaumont, son of Andrew and Sarah Beaumont who, I believe could have been born in the Isle of Man in the 1870s/1880s. My first trace of him is living on Hamilton Street in Chadderton Oldham Lancs when he married my grandmother Ellen Cresswell in 1909. I understand that their oldest daughter Sarah Ellen {known as Nellie Briggs,later Haseldin} used to write to a branch of the family called Kneale, Neale or Neild in the Isle of Man up to the 1960s. Since Nellie's death we have been unable to find any trace of the relatives she wrote to. She did tell us stories of how the family had some connection with the sinking of the Ellen Vannin in 1909 but so far I have drawn a blank and would be grateful if anyone who finds any part of the above description familiar would contact me.
