*********
In 1871 there’s a servant in Douglas, Mary A Wade age 17 b German. This is MAW bap 28 Oct 1853 German, parents Robert Wade and Mgt Kewley. In 1861 this MAW was listed as Ann Wade age 7 with her parents and siblings in German.

So the Mary A Wade gr dau age 8 at Ballaragh in 1861 is likely to be the illegitimate daughter of Ann Cleator nee Wade b 1831 who was with her husband John Cleator and their children in Rushen in 1861.
