I am trying to trace any link btw the family of my gg-g'father William Thomas Moore (b. 1837 Maughold) and Emanuel Moore of Maughold (b. 1790). Reason being that William named his eldest son Emanuel and it is not a name that had previously appeared in the family of William (that I have been able to identify) or his wife Sophia Cowell. Hence I'm hoping to find a link somewhere to the Emanuel Moore identified in Maughold.

William was the eldest son of Ann Maddrell and William Moore who married in Maughold in 1837. William snr died in Maughold in 1850 aged 52. Based on this I believe that William snr was born in Maughold in 1798, the son of Robert Moore and Margaret Cannon. William jnr married Sophia Cowell (b. 1840 Marown. d of John Cowell and Mary Crellin) at Santon in 1861. Their eldest daughter Mary Ann was probably born on the Isle of Man around 1862. They emigrated to Australia approx 1864 where their other children were born - Eliza, Margaret, Sophia, Emanuel, William Thomas, Elizabeth Eve, Emma Madral Charlotte, Robert Henry and George Frederick. Whilst the Australian born Emanuel Moore did not have any children, the name was then carried into the next generation as William Thomas's second son was named Thomas Emanuel.

I may be clutching at straws here but would appreciate any ideas

Thank you
