"The Cliff" or just "Cliff", Bradden

My great great grandfather and his father, and even perhaps his wife where born at "[The] Cliff", Bradden. Can anyone possibly help in identifying the location of this spot on the island? It could be a village, hamlet, a cluster of houses, or, my favourite, just a large house. My favourite because both father and son were at various times listed as "Servant".

An Alan Godfrey map of Douglas shows a house called the "The Cliff" in Onchan, so it is possible that there is another in the neighbouring parish and located to the south of Douglas, on the cliffs.
