Thank-you for responding so quickly
Names, Dates and birth places are:
Mabel Marie Towers, c.1892, Douglas Isle of Man
Violet Towers, c. 1893, Colby Isle of Man
George Towers, c. 1895, Colby Isle of Man
William Towers, c. 1898, Colby Isle of Man
There was another child born between George and William but I am assuming they had been visiting family in Notts (where their father was born) as he was born in Worksop. Their youngest child was born in Doncaster in 1900. On the 1901 census the family had returned to Rotherham.
The parents were George (1828) & Eliza Towers (c. 1866) married about 1891 (after the census).
George was a publican he ran pubs both before and after living in the Isle of Man. He was in Rotherham, Yorks on the 1891 & 1901 census. I suppose its possible he ran a pub on the IOM. Is it possible to trace this assuming they were then from 1892 (Mabel birth) until 1899 (after Williams birth) but before the youngest child. Where would I look for this sort of information?
