Hi Syl I found on http://search.labs.familysearch.org the marriages of Esther Kewley and James Pollitt, and Margaret Clague and James in the IOM (but maybe you already have these?) - unfortunately no parents names. However, it is worth checking where the local Church Records are to see if there is further information on them Groom's Name: James Pollitt Groom's Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Esther Kewley Bride's Birth Date: Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: Marriage Date: 09 Jun 1831 Marriage Place: Braddan,Isle Of Man,England Groom's Father's Name: Groom's Mother's Name: Bride's Father's Name: Bride's Mother's Name: Groom's Race: Groom's Marital Status: Groom's Previous Wife's Name: Bride's Race: Bride's Marital Status: Bride's Previous Husband's Name: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M03802-1 System Origin: Isle_Of_Man-ODM Source Film Number: 106711 Reference Number: Collection: Isle of Man Marriages, 1849–1911. Groom's Name: James Pollett Groom's Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Margaret Clague Bride's Birth Date: Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: Marriage Date: 28 Jan 1835 Marriage Place: Marown,Isle Of Man,England Groom's Father's Name: Groom's Mother's Name: Bride's Father's Name: Bride's Mother's Name: Groom's Race: Groom's Marital Status: Groom's Previous Wife's Name: Bride's Race: Bride's Marital Status: Bride's Previous Husband's Name: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M03822-1 System Origin: Isle_Of_Man-ODM Source Film Number: 106733 Reference Number: Collection: Isle of Man Marriages, 1849–1911. There also lots and lots of other Pollitt's (including James) on Family Search - perhaps some of them are siblings of your James? It will certainly keep you busy, checking them out!!
