KERMISH KERMODE

Hi, I live in Melbourne, Australia. My late grandfather, William Tunstall (Born Rainford, County of Lancaster,16th August 1868 - died 7th April 1961 Melbourne, Australia)) had notes in his address book of the following:
Mrs.V.A.Kermish, Derby Castle Avenue, Douglas, Isle of Man and also Mrs. C.E.Kermode, 11 Victoria Parade, Douglas, Isle of Man.
Does this information 'ring a bell' with anyone? I'd be thrilled to hear....
