Thats amazing_ no doubt about it, thats him. I have applied for a copy of his Seamans Discharge book from Southampton. I'm going to start drawing a tree and put it up for your input and suggestions....or maybe you have started one?
My father told me also that he had a brother Christopher, who died aged 5 or 6 from TB.
I know also he had one or two sisters who were nuns and worked in Africa all their lives. I'll ask the priest (Henry's son). I also know that my father's mother's maiden name was Byrne ( I have her prayer book)
