Cannell's from kirk michael

Can any one help?
I am trying to trace a William Cannell in the Village. There has been mention of the Black Cannell's i.e. An association of the Black family (Jane) and the Cannell family.
We have been to Kirk Michael and have met some other Cannell families, the striking resemblence to my family, tells me the link is not very long ago in Fam. History terms.
Any clues at all would be very much appreciated.
