William Corkill

I think I may have asked something along these lines before, but I'd like to identify the William Corkill of this marriage:

William Corkill of KK Maughold widr married Jane Kirjague wid by special licence, in presence of Wm Ray, James Cowell, Thos Cannell, John Christian, 4 Nov 1803 Kirk Michael

I believe Jane Kirjague was Jane Darcy, widow of Richard Corjeag (d. Feb 1795).

William seems to have died between Nov 1803 and June 1841, when at census time Jane was at Mony Mollagh, Kirk Michael with a 40yr old Ann, probably her daughter (died 1855 leaving a will which I have not seen). Jane died in 1845 but doesn't seem to have left a will.

If I can identify who William Corkill was, perhaps I can find out when he died and if he left a will.

Does anyone recognise him?
