A Question on a Corkill Maternal Line: The Lewins

I was wondering if anyone has or can point me in the direction of transcriptions for the following two Wills for an Alice Lewin: 1802 Douglas, or 1821 Braddan. I am trying to convince myself of something Frances said could be a possibility a few months back. That is, that Robert and Alice Lewin could be the parents of Elizabeth Lewin ( b. ?; d. 1831, Braddan), the wife of Thomas Corkill (b. 1777, d. 1834, Braddan). The reason for my curiosity is that there is an Onchan 1794 Will transcription for a Robert Lewin that lists his children as “bur 14 oct 1793;dau ann, margt, elizth, esther; son john (herring nets), philip, edward, thomas , wm; wife alive execx.” Why is that interesting? With the exception of the name Esther, those names along with an added Robert are exactly the same names that Thomas Corkill (b. 1777, d. 1834, Braddan) and Elizabeth Lewin ( b. ?; d. 1831, Braddan) gave to their children. That would seem to me to be a pretty big coincidence. My hope is that one of the two Alice Lewin Wills will prove Frances right since Elizabeth Lewin became a Corkill prior to 1802 (m. 8 Dec 1800, Kirk Michael) and may be listed as a Corkill als Lewin in one of those Wills.
