JOHN QUIRK BORN ABT> 1801

Can anyone help?!
My g-g-g-grandfather was John Quirk. He was born around 1801. He married Elizabeth Kewin on 1st December 1821 in Braddan. Almost all their children were born in Douglas.
As I don't know where John was born, I don't know if any of the hits on the IGI relate to him.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
