possibly our resident Cain expert Donna will rise to this - however I'm confused
The first Peter is you say Irish - the name Cain is not unique to IoM tho the Irish variant is often seen as Kane - though Peter is a first name little used in the Cain - so rare I only have 2 between late 17thC and mid 20th in my records.
