Edwin Christian, Eliza J Martin, William Corlett

I wonder if anyone knows the story behind this 1891 Jurby Census entry:

William Corlett, Head, 33, Farmer, b. Onchan
Eliza J Corlett, Wife, 35, b. Andreas
Edwin Christian, StepSon, 11, Andreas

This would be William Corlett b. 1857, son of Robert Corlett & Eleanor Gell, and Elizabeth Jane Martin, parentage uncertain.

The 1881 Census finds an unmarried Eliza Jane Martin, b. Andreas, at 150 Bury New Road, Cheetham, Lancashire, a lodger in the house of Catherine Sayle, 47, Widow, b. Jurby.

Who could Edwin's father be? I'm curious.

Thanks,
Barbara
