Mackey - bros. William, John, James & Joseph

[Irish50]

Hello All:
We believe our g-gf was from IOM, but we have not been able to confirm this. We do know there were four brothers - William, John, James & Joseph. 
William ended up in Belfast, but we have no information on the other 3 brothers.
I did find a baptism record for a William Mackie in Ramsay but have no idea if that's our William.

As you can see we have very little information.  If anyone feels up for a challenge, we would greatly appreciate any information.

Thanks in advance,

On the 1911 census, William stated that he was born on Isle of Man...but I still can't find any records to verify this.  Is there an office of records on IoM that I can contact to get information?
