Arbory Church has a graveyard.
New ones were added in 1885 to the North and in 1923 to the left of the path.

The church is on the main road in Ballabeg.
Buses 1, 11, 12 and 1H stop there.
There is also a station at Ballabeg on the Isle of Man Steam Railway.

I strongly suggest that you call into Manx Museum (open Weds thru Sat) and get copies of the plans of graveyards -
 also check that the people you are researching actually have a grave marker (not all do) and that it is still extant so you can find it using the plan
any thing with a Manx Connection

Yes if you're grave hunting to save time either get a graveyard plan sent to you by e-mail or get one from the museum when you visit. At the museum there are various grave inscription books if the people you're looking for aren't in them then they will have unmarked graves. Any inscriptions you find in the books take a note of them or photo so you have a copy of the grave letter & number & inscription. Then look for the grave letter/number on the plan.

If you are interested in Arbory I went there last year and if you're going by bus best to ask the driver to give you a shout when you are nearby as I remember there was a little walk between the bus stop and the church. You could easily miss the stop. There's a gated part of the graveyard where there are sheep droppings, cheap labour cutting the grass ;D although there were no sheep when I was there. Here are some Google views:-

Edit: best to go by bus or car as the railway station, although named Ballabeg, is quite a walk away.

Arbory Church has the following graveyards:

Old Yard
Ancient Yard
Triangle Yard
Second Yard
1923 Yard

I studied the list of Monumental Inscriptions for Arbory - William Radcliffe appears not to have a marker. So, probably an unmarked grave.
As I said before, I can't find a burial for Margaret.

I don't think that's the case here?
William is on the Burial Register for Arbory (I double-checked!).
But there is nothing on the MI Index & Transcriptions.

Dalby isn't a parish, but is within Patrick parish.
However there is a church at Dalby (St James), but no burials?
