Hello Anne, Thank you, I shall try and find out the type of ship he was on. Wives often accompanied their husbands on larger ships, I shall start digging. I will see if this Doris Ena is on the 1911 census first...I almost wasted a small fortune on looking for the death of a 4gt grandmother of this family. At least 7 ladies of the right name and in the right area died in the ten years between the census returns, but none of these were her. I later found out she had a middle name I did not know of and the informant spelt Matthews with one t. I had found a burial record that enough clues on it to make me finally order a certificate (bingo).
