1851: I did notice a William KEWLEY Visitor age 23 [no occupation given] at 55 Sand St, Douglas. Head of household: John QUAY 50 Labourer. Wife Louisa QUAY 40. Son named "Manspah" QUAY 14 and John QUAY 6. Another visitor was Margaret CHRISTIAN 25 servant.

1841: I found the QUAY family but didn't record it. There wasn't a Margaret in this family. There were at least 3 William KEWLEYs in the right age bracket but none in Braddan.

1881 census: RG11/5604 29 pg 10 #39 62 Duke St, Douglas
William KEWLEY Head Mar 54 Tailor Master Empl 5 men, b Isle of Man Braddan
Elizabeth KEWLEY Wife Mar 38, b Isle of Man Douglas [must be 2nd wife]
Elizabeth KEWLEY, Daur 19 Milliner, b Isle of Man Douglas.

1891: no William KEWLEY match

I could not find John Joseph KEWLEY in 1881, when he ought to be about 17. There were a couple of potential "John KEWLEY"s who could be him. Similar for 1891.

This IGI baptism seems late, but warrants checking out:
Margt QUAY bp 8 Aug 1830 Braddan dau of John QUAY and Lucy CRAINE

Only IGI marriage that's close for William and Margaret is:
William KEWLEY and Margaret CRAINE 24 Apr 1851 Braddan.
