I am responsible for that original posting. For your information I believe William brittain married again in Greenock and he was listed as a police sergeant  and later became the governor of the Milford Workhouse in Ireland. This info is in the Abbey poor house board minutes where they discuss his appointment and how they are awaiting him coming from his post at Milford to take up the post at the abbey poor house. There descriptions of his work at Abbey poor house in the board minutes etc. There is a wee insight into his personality in these. Also the John A C Brittain had two admissions into the western infirmary and there are written records of the discussion between him and the physician treating him. If memory serves me right this admission is after he had served his hard labour sentence in Gibraltar for the manslaughter of the ships cook. It would appear that the sentence was reduced or pardoned etc. The ship he was arrested from was the David Sinclair (Schooner; First ship of Denholm shipping). I have more but would need to try and get the stuff out. William is my Grandfather x 4. Hope this helps
