Don't know yet if either of the 2 Manx women are relatives of Agnes Kelly. Any suggestions ?"

Well, I've now solved the mystery, and it turns out that once again, Agnes Kelly was in a household with one of her first cousins, Esther Coulthard.

In 1891, Esther was the widow of William Coulthard. They married 15 Feb 1854 Santon when Esther was a widow herself. Her first marriage was to Robert Cowley 16 Aug 1842 Malew.

Esther's maiden name was Esther Gick. She was probably the daughter of William Gick and Catherine Quine:

Gender: Female Christening: 12 FEB 1814 Malew, Isle Of Man, England

Esther's father was a son of William Gick and Jane Moore of Cordeman.
