Looking at the marriage gives you the fathers' names, and saves guessing.
This is Edward's first marriage, mentioned last message:
Maughold 23 Feb 1867
Edward SKILLICORN, Full age, Bachelor, Shoemaker, Ramsey, [father] William Skillicorn, Hatter, and
Catharine Ann CHRISTIAN, Full age, Spinster, Ramsey, [father] Hugh Christian, Shoemaker.

If the 1901 age is correct for him this looks like Edward SKILLICORN one of the twins (with sister Cath) of William Skillicorn & Ann Murray, who were bapt at the Parish Church Maughold on 20 Apr 1845.

The 1881 census, from Familysearch.org:
