He died in 1835 so William didn't drown with him before his apprenticeship was finished, no burial record & he was gone by the 1841 census who knows where. 6 February 04 2012 at 12:15:23 Full Name: Frank Ambrose Email: frank_a@hotmail.co.uk Home Town?: Liverpool Message Text: Seaman from 1960 to 1973, still consider myself an EX MerchantSeaman. 7 February 04 2012 at 08:17:19 Full Name: Robert John White ( John ) Email: chalky1939@yahoo.co.uk Home Town?: Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk.
