RESEARCHING THOMAS KELLY BORN AROUND 1866

My problem is by purchasing my grand parents Marriage Certificate dated 1913 for William Frances Albert Kelly and Lucy Lount (which took place in Barnsley, England) I have confirmed the name of my great grand father as Thomas Kelly - occupation Sea Captain.

William F. A. Kelly was 25 in 1913 therefore I am working on him being born around 1888.

I am told that William's father was from the Isle of Man and in the 1891 Census I have found a Thomas Kelly but he was on a boat out at sea when the census was taken, therefore, no home address is given.

I am also told that Thomas Kelly married a lady from Scotland with a maiden name of MacDonald or McDonald, but no chrisitan name is known.

In the 1891 Census I have found an Isabella Kelly (born in Scotland) (aged 25) residing in the Isle of Man (Kirk Michael) with a son called William (no middle initials) aged 2, (making him around the right age) she also has a daughter also called Isabella aged 10 months, but I cannot be certain if I am researching the correct Thomas Kelly or if Isabella is his wife's christian name as I cannot find any birth information about William or Isabella Junior in the England and Scotland records, therefore, I am assuming that they were both born in the Isle of Man.

I have also searched Scotland, England and the Isle of Man for a marriage between a Kelly and a MacDoncald/McDonald around 1886, 1887, 1888 with no luck.

I am working on possible birth dates for Thomas Kelly and his wife as being around 1866

Can anyone help me to climb this brick wall that I have hit and help me to proceed further.
