burnett run away

I am looking for information on my great grandfather Frank Burnett(e). He is listed on his death certificate as having been born in 1845 on the Isle of Man. He supposedly
got into quite a bit a trouble in school vadelized the school at a very young age. He said he ran away to sea and only went home 1 time to see his "sainted mother". No other information is available other than he did say he was born at sea. He immigrated to America in or around 1863. Names of some of his children are John Franklin, Mary Jane, Rosa Bell, Mildred, William, Joseph S, Cora. Does anyone know of this man?
