Eliza OATES d/o Robert Oates & Mary Thomson

Eliza Oates was born abt 1821 Douglas, and is reported to have married (1st) David Richardson circ 1839, and (2nd) Mr. ? Wilson bet 1871-1876.

Eliza's Will is dated 1876 in the name of "Elizabeth Wilson or Richardson" (see Brian's Will Index).

Eliza and David Richardson and family emigrated to the US in 1848 but parted ways while residing in Galveston, TX during the mid 1850s, whereupon she returned to the IOM.

Does anyone know how I can locate a record of marriage between Eliza and either man? I have searched the Free BMDs (David was born Cumberland, England), Ancestry.com, Brian's Marriage records, the IGI, and including several other likely sites online - all without success.

Thank you for any help.
