Baptism. From the Manx Museum microfilm no. (106) 718. At St. Matthew's Church in Douglas in the ecclesiastical parish of Braddan.

GEORGE RICE PRICE OWEN
Son of John OWEN and Ann OWEN
baptized 11th Sept. 1812.

That's all there is.... The women usually have Alias or Otherwise written after there married name detailing their maiden name, but not in this case.

I had a quick look at the card indexes to the newspapers of the time, there were only 2 Owen's mention between 1810 and 1830:

13 Dec 1821 Joseph Owen & Co., Corn Dealers, of Drinkwater's Warehouse, North Quay, Douglas.

and

28 Jan 1823 Richard Owen, Debtor. A prisoner in Castle Rushen (the Gaol) for debt 'has filed his petition'.

No sign of any marriage of any Owen's in any of the churches in Braddan (Braddan, St George's or St. Matthew's) between 1809 and 1812 either.
