Manx Genealogy

William Henry Corlett

Hello,

I'm looking for information regarding my ancestors who immigrated to the United States. William Henry Corlett (went by Henry) was born about 1831. I strongly suspect he was born on the Isle of Man, though I cannot say for certain. He was in Manhattan by at least 1860 and married to an Ellen Rogers (Rodgers?). The census records indicate that she was born in Ireland, about 1836. I don't know whether they came together or married in the US. I can find very little information on Henry, other than he was a shoemaker in 1860, and had likely died before 1870, at least by 1880. If anyone has any information at all, I would be extremely grateful to hear it. Thank you.
