Unfortunately I have had little success regarding finding John Charles Quilliam after 1871. 
I have looked at all censuses where his siblings and extended family appear both in IOM and USA, also marriage and death records plus newspapers to no avail.

In the 1881 IOM census (Fisherman at Kinsale Mackerel Fishing) was possibly John's brother, Thomas Quilliam age 15 born Patrick,  aboard the fishing boat "Lily" 172 also on the same census was a John Quilliam age 18 born Patrick on the fishing boat "Exquisite" 122  who could be John Charles - the census was taken  April 1881 and John was baptised in Oct 1861 so was approximately 19 years of age at the time.

Another possibility the 1891 IOM census has a John Quilliam enumerated as age 30 (looks more like age 32 on the image) born Peel Fishermen on "Banshee" 6

In 1901 Isle of Man census - Peel Fishing Fleet there were two John Quiliam's born in Peel.
John Quilliam 44 b. 1857 on "Hannah 7" Peel N0 21
John Quilliam 43  b.1858 on "Cruiser" No 78

I'm of the mind that our John Charles Quilliam may have died at sea but have no way of proving it!

Just to confuse things, some trees have John Charles Quilliam (with parents Charles Quilliam and Margaret Corkill) a house painter who married Emma J Harrison born Risley in 1920 West Derby Lancashire - she first married William Harrison in 1898. John and Emma had the following children: Samuel, Joseph, George, Alexander, Emma J and Ethel.

This is in fact John Kelly Quilliam born 10 May1858 Liverpool Lancashire and died 1948 Merseyside.   England age 90 years (He was a house painter according to the England censuses) Emma Jane was born 24 June 1881 and died 1956 in Liverpool Lancashire. I haven't been able to ascertain who John Kelly Quilliam's parents were.

I'm so sorry that I was unable to find him

What can I say!!!!!

Thank you so much C for thinking of me. What a wonderful photo!
This is such a special grave as most of this branch of our Rae family are buried together.

William Rae and Isabella Cannell are my husband's 2nd great grandparents, William Edward Rae, his great grandfather - the other's being his great aunt Isabella Jane and great uncle Phynlow St. Martin plus his 2nd great aunt Margaret.

In appreciation

I have found a 6 year old child living with her "adoptive" parents in the 1921 census. She is enumerated as being the couple's daughter, with their surname but her middle name is the surname of her biological mother - could this indicate that the "adoptive" parents knew the biological mother of the child? or maybe there is another explanation?
Also, the child is enumerated as  parents both alive. Would this mean that both the biological parents are alive or that both the "adoptive" parents are alive?
