Coming back to the original enquiry, I just came across this will of Thomas Christian where the name of Ballanekilley appears

Thanks, I suspected that much. It has only been found that my 2nd GGF and GGM were from the IOM so I am just learning about the peculiarities of the island.

Thank you so so much! That's the proof I was needing. On Elinor's will it mentions her husband Thomas, therefore his name is confirmed and also that she passed away before him. Much appreciated
