when you say early - how early - the Island claims to be Christian by the 6th Century (ie well before England).
By 1600 the Island was nominally Protestant (ie Anglican or these days Church of England (CofE)) prior to 1540s it would have been Catholic - traces of Catholic practice lingered well past 1600.
As the Island started to become a centre for smuggling into the countries surrounding the Irish sea there was a small influx of Irish sometimes Catholic but usually strong Protestant, a few Jews could be found among the merchants as could also be a few Dutch and other European nationals (eg French) - post 1765 and the removal of much of the smuggling the Island started to embrace Methodism originally a group still within the CofE but increasingly with separatist tendencies - the Manx were especially attracted by its use of Local preachers which allowed them to show their independence of England - this remained the case until post WW1 with the Island split 50/50 between CofE + Methodists - however the relationship was seldom hostile many chapel goers used the CofE parish church + the CofE goers would happily go to hear a good preacher.
The only foreign intervention occurred in the late 1830's when the early Mormons had a mission to the Island and gained quite a few converts many of whom emigrated to the USA but this cult was a spent force by the 1880s.
A fair amount of this history is on my website www.manxnotebook.com

Interestingly in 1851 there is a 2 year old Sarah McDonald born Ballaugh lodging along with others at Conbury in Ballaugh - the head of household is Manx but wife Rebecca Irish as are most of the other lodgers a hawker, tinker + shoemaker (no other Macdonald tho)
John Andrew Perry is buried 20 Apr 1922 age 68 at Maughold (usual yard for those living in Ramsey)
Hannah buried 1 May 1906 age 50 also Maughold
A Samuel Perry buried 31 Jul 1910 age 89 at Ballaugh (giving an address Braddan); an Eliza Parry age 73 on 6 Apr 1917 at Maughold tho the Eliza Perry age 62 address Cronkould buried Ballaugh 27 Mar 1901 looks a better choice for Sam's wife + being just about 21 for her marriage
An Irish born Samuel Perry age 24 a manservant can be found at Bark (a farm in Michael) in 1841

I've done a reasonable amount of work on deeds - you can track changes in property from 1704 (+ often before) using deeds - many are summarised on my CD + these show the movement of this family from Shimmin Silverburn thru Ballamodda and also into Billown - all these are on my CD.
I have no record of marr but there is a long seq of bapts to a Wm Mylcreest starting in 1713 - now this could be 2 families or a sequence of infant deaths - catch is that much of the property in Malew is Abbey land for which the detailed information usually contained in Lib Vast (records changes in Lords tenants) is not (or at times somewhat partially) given.
There would appear to be some missing entries in the transcribed Malew reg - marriages are usually in the Bride's parish as specified in the marr contract but things can change between the contract and the actuality - I thought I had transcribed all 18th C marriages but now images of the parish reg are available you can check

Don't know if you have done any earlier research on the Ballamoda / Billown line which I think leads to your Solomon but land records + marriage contract place the Mylcreests home as Kk German

A growing number of documents relating to the two IoM Camps - Douglas and Knockaloe can be found on my website www.manxnotebook.com/history/intrn_ww1/index.htm including a full translation of Die Männerinsel (Island of Men) - fascinating read.
I've also been trawling thru the ICRC records as well as the FO 383 files at Kew + other records held at Manx Museum to put together as complete a list of those interned at Knockaloe together with camp number (which gives arrival date and usually the camp, compound and hut they were in - catch is I estimate around 30,000 names which is somewhat too large for my site - so far I have some 12000 names with camp number and probably some 1500 names but without camp numbers as they left the camp prior to camp numbers (as opposed to PoW Information Bureau serial numbers) being included in ICRC records.
