Lonsdales in the Isle of Man

Lonsdales in the Isle of Man

My maternal great Grandmother Jessie Lonsdale was born in Douglas, Isle of Man in September 1862, according to some notes I found in my family history. There is a citation in the IOM Baptism Index which states that a Jessie Lonsdale was baptised in October 1862, father Thomas, and Mother Margaret. I would like to verify this, and find out her mother's maiden name.

Apparently Jessie's father died very young when she was only 4 or 5 years old (therefore around 1866), and her mother married for a third time, probably in England where they eventually settled.

Jessie married Ernest James Smith (b. 1863 in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire) in 1887 in Bradford, and had 6 children, the oldest of whom was my maternal Grandfather James Lonsdale Smith. Two other sons, Arthur and Wilfred, also had Lonsdale as a middle name.

Any information on these Lonsdale ancestors and descendants would be greatly appreciated.
