Wm Cain 1917 MI?

Any chance of some kind soul (Donna) looking up the Braddan MI of constable Wm Cain. Don't ask me what hope to find but it would be nice to see what's there.

This is what I found on the Memorial Notices pages of the Manx Notebook
WILLIAM CAIN,
Died December 7th., 1917,

Mr William Cain, of Douglas, ex-sergeant of the Isle of Man Constabulary, died on Friday, December 7th, 1917, at the age of 79, after being laid up for about three weeks. He joined the force in the early 'sixties, but resigned after a brief service. After spending about a year in the occupation of a miller, he rejoined on September 1st, 1865, and continued service to October 1st, 1906, when he retired upon pension. Over thirty years ago he was promoted sergeant, and in this capacity he had charge of the Douglas Police Station up to the time of his retirement. He leaves a widow, two sons and one daughter, (sic)

Wm Cain's first wife is my great grandfather's father's first cousin. I think.
