Re: William Craine marriage - his brother Edward

Checked out the children on list at iomfhs.im with some updates and queries -
Thomas Arthur was born in Liverpool, Jan-Mar 1884, all rest born in Peel.
Elizabeth Ann 11 Mar 1885
Mary Esther 13 Nov 1887
Edward James 17 Feb 1889
(Susannah) Gladys 19 dec 1896
Lily May 17 Feb 1899
(Florence) Violet 31 Mar 1900

Bit of a query over Earnest - 1901 census definitely has Earnest, daughter aged 9. I also had this verified in the Isle of Man by Priscilla Lewthwaite. The births list has Ernest Edgar b 21 April 1892.
My father's cousin remembered there being two sons, one of whom was a teacher and it seems neither married. Quite whether Earnest was male or femail now lies in question!
