Margaret Killip Moughtin

I am looking for links to my Paternal Grandmother - Margaret Killip Moughtin, believed to have been born in the IoM about 1875. She married my Grandfather Absalom Parsons in Liverpool in 1897 and they had several children one of whom - Thomas Norman Parsons - was my father. Absalom was born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland about 1868 and was a sailor who settled in Liverpool where he met Margaret. I have no other information at present.
I have since starting my search noticed some postings from people with the surname Killip. I don't know if Margaret was somehow connected with the Killips as well as being a Moughtin? Why would she use two surnames?
Any info would be much appreciated
