Seems to clinch it. Thank you for directing me to that Frances.
The reason I have that record is because his brother Joseph, mentioned in the account, married for the second time in 1896 to Isabella Gawne (his first wife was Catherine Taggart who died in 1885). He was born 1823 and she was born 1833 in Kk German, the daughter of Thomas Gawne and Isabella Callister of Laurel Bank.
In 1901 they were residing at Laurel Bank.

Laurel Bank 1901
Isabella Sansbery abt 1834 German, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Wife German Isle of Man
Joseph Sansbery abt 1823 Rushen, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Head German Isle of Man Retired Farmer

He died the year before John in 1907 (buried 25 Feb 1907 aged 83 yrs). Isabella died in 1818 and was buried as Isabella Sansbury.

........Also Isabella Sansbury daughter of the late Thomas Gawne of Laurel Bank who died July 3rd 1918 aged 84 years.

It's good when something comes together.
