John FRANCE manager of Derby House Pleasure Garden

Hi has anyone any info on the Derby House pleasure gardens and when this man ceased to be the manager. He is listed in the Douglas directory for 1885 but 1891 is missing. His children the youngest Arthur FRANCE is living in Liskeard Cornwall by 1891 with his aunt. He is 4 and born at Douglas IOM. I would dearly like to find out if this childs mother had died as I have not been able to find either John FRANCE or his wife Clara. John is a master mariner and may have returned to sea.
