The spelling of Corkhill could be off--it could be Corkill. Is there an Edward/Ted Corkhill/Corkill that captains the Ferrys between Douglas, IOM and England? The one I am looking for was captain of the Ferry in abt. 1909, so I presume that he wasn't the farmer, but it is possible. It was ridiculous of me not to have added that piece of info before. I do apologize for the total inconvenience.
