Hi Sue, Yes, my Thomas Maxwell who was married to Isabella Cannel (2nd wife) had five children with Isabella and one of his children was born in Onchan l792 who was my gg grandmother Jane (Maxwell)Brew. I also don't know anything about either,except Wm. was a blacksmith, I think in Onchan and died before l836.

Samuel, who you mentioned, was
my great,great grandfather, married to Ann Cannel and one of their 7 children was my great grandfather. That's where it's been confusing with all these "children" named after relatives. I found a copy of his Will at Mormon church. Thanks so much for your responses. Every little bit of data helps. Helen . Boy oh boy, all these names and dates are really mind boggling , aren't they?
