There are 81 entries for Kewley to 1888, and now we have the letter from Barbara, I will add the others after Edward's family, and maybe someone else will also find a long lost connection.
John may be the lost William John Kewley.

From
William Kewley was the father-in-law of my GG-GrandAunt, Margaret Lewin from the Isle of Man. I had been looking all over for her brothers-in-law without any result until I typed "Edward Thomas Kewley" into my browser and found myself at your site!
I have Edward Thomas b. 1837 and his brother William John b. 1832.
Also this morning I found an ancient post from Family History Society Journal Volume ix no 2 April 1987:
[Kewley Line] - http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/famhist/v09n2.htm#49-50
"Ian Kewley, 23 Herbert Street, Parkdale, Victoria, Australia 3195 writes: I would like to request whether my family tree could be published in the next issue for the 'Isle of Man Family History Society' Journal.
The tree is of one of the 'KEWLEY' lines that stems from the Isle of Man. I would appreciate it very much if the tree could be published as it would then circulate throughout the many society members and hopefully someone would identify themselves as a descendant of John Kewley of Ballaugh.
By making contact with other descendants then I could extend the family tree further and be fortunate enough to make communication with an overseas 'distant relative'. To get this far, I have to thank Ralph Kewley of Cooil View, Braddan. Since our first correspondence in October 1985, Ralph has supplied a lot of the information on my family tree. Unfortunately between us we find no common relative, 'as yet'.
It was William John bapt. 1832 and his brother Edward Thomas bapt. 1837 who both came out to Australia in 1852 aboard the 'Emigrant'.
The records showed that: William Kewley age 20 Adult Profession - Seaman
Edward Kewley age 15 Adult Profession - Druggist
Edward Thomas Kewley is my great grandfather, and I am still finding out details and family members of the Australian line that will take me quite a while to collate.
I am equally anxious to find any details of the Isle of Man 'KEWLEY'S' who believe they too are descendants of the Kewley's of Ballaugh."
===============================================
So glad to discover where they'd gone! I'll try to hunt up the Journal where the genealogy (hopefully) was published.
I'm in Alameda, California and am working on the Kewley line with a distant cousin of mine on the Isle of Man. Here's what we have so far:

Hi Elizabeth,
I also stumbled across this site, I have been looking for any trace of John Kewley who married Jessie Beattie and this site has the first info re his parents. John is my GGGrandfather on my father's side.
John and Jessie came to Australia on the Royal George in 1949 (Port Phillip).
Peter Avoca had another 4 children but they were after 1888. Thanks for your time.
Helen Crowe (nee Kewley)

Hi Elizabeth,
I’ve just stumbled onto your wonderful Kewley site and am very glad I have. My query isn’t directly Kewley related but involves people you list on your site.
Rollin McRickard and Elizabeth Tracey were my GGG Grandparents. Their daughter Elizabeth was my GG Grandmother. Is all the information above from the BDM indexes and if not where? One reason I ask is because there is a listing for Elizabeth Tracey’s birth on the IGI showing her father as Richard and her mother as Sarah rather than Mary.

Answer - most from Victoria's Indexes to 1888
IGI for Elizabeth Tracey, submitted records that she was christened 22 Feb 1829 at St Mary'S, Southampton, Hampshire, England daughter of Sarah and Richard Tracey, and Richard Tracey wed 04 Jun 1816 at Lymington, Hampshire, England to Sarah Lane
Elizabeth McRickard 1829 - 1865 #7468 aged 36 daughter of Mary and Richard Tracey, and Rollin McRickard 1824 - 1870 #7779 aged 46, son of Ann Cunningham and Rollin McRickard. Second daughter Elizabeth McRickard wed 1879 #2001 to William Peter Schlicht, 3 daughters to 1888, and the son registered as Schlight.

Thomas (Henry) Kewley 1852 - 1924 #13182 aged 72 wed 1868 #3254 to Alice McRickard 1851 - 1922 #7374 aged 71, daughter of Elizabeth Tracey and Rollin McRickard of Southampton, and lived at Raglan and then at Waterloo
