CURPHEY

Anyone know anything about a boxer in Manchester, JACK CURPHEY, possibly named John, b. IOM?
Also a Bill Curphey (most probably William) of Maryport who was left a farm in Kirk Michael? He was musical, don't know what instrument he played.
Lastly, a female Curphey called the Manx Nightingale? (related to Farrants and Christians, Milntown)?
Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks
