There's a tree on Ancestry which has John Beck and Mary Hastings as the parents of John Beck, but doesn't have his baptism --- in fact, it gives his birth year as circa 1815. This tree is from a g g g granddaughter of John's brother, Henry Beck bap 1819:

**********************************

John Beck b 1810 left a will. Have you seen it, Peter ?

BECK, John 1865 Lonan E 87 0106467

***************************************

This might be the will of John Beck's mother, Mary nee Hastings ?

BECK, Mary 1836 Braddan E 0106436

I have no idea whether the Elizabeth Beck below, b circa 1728, is connected to the family or not (maybe a grandmother of John b 1810 ?) ---burial:

BECK, Elizabeth 86 Braddan 16 Mar 1814 DICKENSON

It would be worth seeing this will just in case there's a connection:

BECK, Elizabeth 1814 Braddan A 19 0106239

*********************************************
The tree gives the following details for the parents of John Beck b 1810:

Father John Beck b circa 1777 co Down, Ireland. Died 1856 Douglas (but there's no burial listed in Brian Lawson's index). In 1841 he's a 60 yr old labourer from Ireland in Quilliam Court, Douglas (Conchan 7/17). In 1851 he's a 74 yr old servant / farm labourer in the District House of Industry, Douglas, b Co Down, so this is probably where the tree compiler got her birth year and place of birth from.

Mother ---Mary Hastings. It says "b about 1790 in Ireland ?"

Hope this helps.
