harrison family in the I.O.M

hi hoping to find some help or info on my family i have found my grandad herbert douglas harrison on the 1901 cencus his father is joesph henry harrison from douglas I.O.M but was known as henry he used the name henry on the cencus also i think i have found joesph henry on them on the 1891 cencus age 11 but i still need to comfirm this but i am 99% sure it is them joesph henry father was henry but this could be a middle name as this seems to be a family trend and was a carpenter he married an Esther from malew(not sure on this) and they had 1 daughter Ann Jane and 6 sons joesph, jas, john, chas frank, thomas the last 3 sons were born in Manchester the rest in the I.O.M
they could possible have had a conection with shoes and boot makers as this is what the joesph & frank went on to do I would be gratfull for any help or info thanks karen
