Not seeing Jane in 1851 or 1861?
But there is a baptism!
19th September 1844 at Kirk Marown, Mary Emma daughter of Richard Powning and Jane Grose.
19th September 1844 also at Kirk Marown, Elizabeth Jane (age 18 months) daughter of Richard Powning and Jane Grose.
(Manx baptisms almost always name the mother by her maiden name ;D)

Isn't it likely that the family was in Genoa with Richard in 1861? ADDED - No! I see he died in late January of that year.

In 1841, they were living at "Cottage at Foxdale Mines".
Almost certain there fore that Richard was a Cornish miner.
Lots of Cornish came to the Isle of Man to work the mines ;D
Which is why Laxey Harbour looks remarkably Cornish!
