Hi Eric,
Thanks!! was taking me awhile with the 1841 census - Ancestry had Catharine's age transcribed as 50 instead of 10. (Daughter of John & Margaret)
Listed all children in 1841 census below, thought I would add this to go along with the 1841 census if you didn't have it, a little bit still needs to be transcribed
Census - 1841 Isle of Man
Place - Arbory District 1
Census Area - “District 1, South District; Balladoole Cronk Daugh? to plough Inn and Ballakeigen and on the High Road to Kirk Malew, to the Boundary of the parish - and then over, West on the Highway the houses on both sides, including Narville? and Ballaclague and John Watterson Walker’s House to Colby Bridge including and ending at Henry Moore’s and Thomas Moore’s Houses at the East end of Colby Bridge.”

Lines - 3 thru 9
Name - John James Keys
House / Place - 89 BallaCottier
Relation - Head
Condition - Married
Sex / Age - M / 32
Occupation - Blacksmith Master employs 2 apprentices
Born - Douglas, Isle of Man
Household Members - Catharine (Moore) Keys / wife, John James Keys / son, Anna C Keys / daughter, William Cowin / Stepfather, Anne Cowin / mother, Ellen Moore, sister - in - law
I believe the Ellen Moore listed as sister in law is actually (Esther Christian Moore) daughter of Catharine Gell & John Moore
Also Brian's burial index indicates Esther Christian was buried 30 Oct 1882 Santon age 19
Seems to tie nicely together, Needs more investigating!
The Ann Cowin is Ann Moore (leaning towards Robert Moore & Jane Kneale as parents), William Cowin is her second marriage - 22 Oct 1868, first marriage to James Keys of England 3 Sep 1846.
Thanks again!
