QUIRK Family home/s location

Numerous posts before have asisted me to understand our family line pre 1800 but could not put finger on remaining IOM residential location for our Quirks about 1840; however newly accessed Liverpool Mercury records to Australia show two references:
1. Robert QUIRK of Ballanow 1843, IOM and
2. Mrs Robert QUIRK of Ballaquane 1844 IOM
Seeking assistance please to identify these locations (spelling may be wrong in Liverpool paper) but would they be farms or houses or locations or ????
