Maughold parish register bapts:
MOOR William [son of] Ewan Moor/ Isabel [bapt] Parish Church 6 Jan 1744/45
MOORE Isabel Ewan Moore/ Parish Church 17 Jan 1747/48 (The 'fare' day or 'fast' day?)
MOORE Ewan Ewan Moore/ Parish Church 5 Jan 1750/51 (ny Barney)
MOORE Ann Ewan Moore/ Isabel Parish Church 14 Apr 1739
MOORE Cath Ewan Moore/ Isabell Parish Church 27 May 1741
MOORE Cath Ewan Moore/ Isabell Corkill Parish Church 7 Oct 1753.

In William & Constance Radcliffe's book 'A History of Kirk Maughold' they say that these Moores were of Ballaberna, with the descent coming from Isabel Corkill who inherited this land from her parents (p.259). "The bridegroom, described in the articles of marriage as a 'Hattmaker' of Ramsey, the eldest son of Ewan Moore, Bride (the Parish Clerk), brought with him some land: 'Moore's Curragh Lord's Rent 12d' (probably in Bride), which he had inherited from his mother, Anne Kneale.....
For some years Ewan Moore and Isabel were living at Kiondroughad, Andreas, their address given on two mortgage deeds of 1762 and 1766. After the death of John Corkill they presumably came permanently to Ballaberna, where their descendants have lived ever since".

CR wrote that their eldest son and heir was John 1742-1830 but I didn't find his bapt in Maughold.

There is more in the book about the Moores, and the Corkills (Isabel's parents John C. & Margaret Kerruish), and their descendants.
