Elizabeth Watterson

Does anybody recognise Elizabeth Watterson born about 1792/1797, Isle of Man. Also Edward Watterson abt 1832.
In 1851 and 1861 Elizabeth is in Liverpool with Thomas and Ann Gawne (born abt 1803 & 1791, IOM, respectively ) at 31 Spring Place.

In 1851 she is given as 'sister-in-law' and 'widowed'. Also present is Edward Watterson born abt 1832, Isle of Man, shop assistant.
In 1861 she is given as 'sister' and 'unmarried'.

Presumably she is Ann Gawne's sister. Thomas Gawne I think is from Ballafesson, Rushen. No marriage found.
I can find neither Elizabeth nor Edward in 1841. I am not even sure if Edward is her son, though there is an Edward chr 1831, Castletown, to William Watterson & Elizabeth (no surname).

Maybe these names ring a bell with someone.

Thanks, Jane
