I was interested to read about this family on Enya's wiki page regarding the paternal English born grandparents who were travelling show people going around Ireland. I found another birth from the Thomas and Minna family, you might have this already, a son called John William born in 1920 in Blarney, Cork:-

This page has more information for anyone else interested you probably know most of this information. It looks like a complicated but interesting family I'd like to see a TV show put all the pieces together:-

One of the gravestones says "of The Jallow". I can't find that on any maps. Its alternate and more modern spelling is Jalloo and is still used in full addresses of properties on and around the road to Maughold village. An old newspaper about a fire at a cottage at The Jallow in 1937 describes the cottage location as "on the road from Ballajora to Maughold Church". Jalloo is a Manx word with various meanings: statue, idol, picture ...

This is all pretty amazing.  Thank you so much!  Maughold, huh.  Thank you again.

Pronounced a little like "Mackold"!

When I say it, it sounds like that, but when I spell it, I think of Moregold

At Maughold church the graves G13 to G17 are all Corkills so they're probably all related. There's a lot of Corkills buried in the cemetery there. The Corkills in G15 are definitely related: John Corkill (c1797-1847) and Mary Corkill née Corlett (c1797-1879) were the parents of John Corkill (1825-1879):-
