Family Search transcribed the name wrong they had it as Dixon Brievley:-

 Re Dixon Brearley.             I am also researching Dixon Brearley as he was the brother of Samuel my mother’s grandfather.  It was interesting to hear more about the fire as I had only known that he he had died in a fire in I O M a day before his son was born. The other siblings that I know of are Luke aka Walter Grace Mary and Thomas  Do you have any more ?                                   Regards.  Maureen

Just want to thank KGarrad who sent me the link to this thread when I posted about Dixon's death (even without his name he figured it out!) in a recent thread about IofM papers being viewable for free during the pandemic. 
Dixon's wife, Ann Hibbert Brearley (this is how the name was spelled in my family) was my great-great aunt, i.e. my great-grandfather's sister.  After Dixon's death she returned to Manchester and in 1874 remarried, to George Bower.  He was a widower with children and they had four more together.  Ann lived to a good age.  I was thrilled to see that the community had raised money for her after Dixon's death.  Am sure it helped cover some of her rent when she returned home.  In the 1871 census she is working as a charwoman.
Also happy to have found where Dixon was buried, which had always been a mystery.
