Once again Susan I am indebted to you. You have been so kind and helpful in sharing your knowledge and expertise. Without that help who knows how long it would have taken me. I have now been able to piece together a really interesting part of their lives, and such a sad story. William Snr was buried in a far off place in Ireland after the accident, and his son and, subesquently, grandson still went each year to the same mackerel grounds. Hard lives is an understatement.
Best wishes and thanks again
