Adrian,
I looked back in my notes and my Thomas was born on May 11, 1827 and baptised May 12, 1827 in Malew, so he is definitely not the same Thomas, but maybe a relative. I have no more on the family of his father, William, siblings or parents.
My maiden name is Kermode, the reason for my interest. I do not know the occupation for my Thomas, but his father, William was a quarrior. Other relatives on the island were boot makers and ship builders. My grandfather was from Peel and he and his father built ships for American Ship Building in Cleveland, Ohio after coming to the US.
