KILLEY - fishermen, old story IOM

[Shizara]

My father and his family used to tell me stories of the KILLEY background.  It seems that they were from the Isle of Man.  They used to intrigue me with a story of a family of brothers who were mostly drowned at sea and that we were the descendants of one of the younger members.  At some point they arrived in Lancashire and it seems some went to Lancaster.  The first Killey that I have a record of is Richard Killey who married Jane Griffith 1802 at Liverpool, Lancashire.  Their known children were John, Richard, Henry and William.  Family also made mention of Castletown. 

John Killey was a widower when he married Margaret Gate/s at Lancaster in 1848.  Looking at the family naming pattern would think it possible that the father of Richard Killey who married in 1802 may well have been John.

Does this story seem familiar to other Killey family members?
