Craine Family History

I'm trying to locate information on a court case concerning my Great Grandfather Charles Orin Craine. In 1920 he was living in the United States (Oregon) and his wife died of the influenza. He went to the Isle of Man to try and get something from his heritage back (this part my Mother wasn't too sure of what, property, money, title, etc.) Our family comes from the county Ballaugh... and from my research it appears the Craine family name is a very common name. I've seen the word "Glock" associated with our family but I'm uncertain of the meaning (other than clock?). Also the family name Thomas (and Thos) Craine seems to have been handed down from many years before this. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to continue to write my family story. I am not interested in any gain other than knowledge of the event. This court case would have been around 1921-1922? Thank you. Nadine
