If his father was a printer then the years 1838-48 saw many printers come to the Island (see http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/manx/famhist/genealgy/press.htm for some background) - I have seen estimates of '1000 printers' in Douglas but this seems grossly too high. The industry collapsed in 1848 with withdrawl of postage rights and moved back to UK

Neither Caines or any of your other names are found in my on-line Victorian directories
