Thomas Radcliff Family

What a nice site. I am looking for the Thomas Radcliff family. What I list is confirmed information on family. Thomas Radcliff b. 1818, Wife Elizabeth Gawne/Gawn Radcliff b. 1818, (she is the daughter of John Gawne and Ann Sansbury gawne of Kk Christ Rushen). Son Theodore b. 1860. Daughter Clara b. 1858. All born on the IofM. It is believed that Thomas is the son of Thomas Radcliff and Anne Craine Radcliff. They were married on 2 Jan 1808 in Ballaugh. Anne was b. 1778 in Lezayne, her father was William Craine b. 1731 in Andreas and Mother was Cathrine Joughin b. 1735 Andreas.This was Annes second marriage, her first marriage was to a John Teare, they were married 17 Jan 1761 Andreas. I "believe" that the Radcliff's were from Ballaugh and I "believe" that they came to the US sometime 1827-1828. I know in 1850 they were living in New Amherst Ohio and in 1880 they were in Rockford, Illinois. Are there records kept on IofM that lists people leaving the island for the US by year? Does anyone know of this family's history on the island ? The older Thomas/Anne had 6 Children that I know of: Elinor b. 1810, Anne b. 1811, William b. 1815, Thomas b. 1818, John b. 1821, and Ann b. 1826. I don't have a clue if they all emmigrated with family to US or some of them remained on the IofM. I have tried to find them through Ellis Island but they don't show up. Hope someone can help me. If any one from the IofM needs help on this side of the ocean please let me know. Thank you. Alice Radcliff
