Hello and thanks for the reply. It seems we should definitely share information as I did not know where or when he died. To ensure we are talking about the same Ralph Spooner, I am referring to the one born abt 1850 in Thrislington, Durham who married Margaret Hill in 1873 in Houghton dist. in Co Durham. I believe they had eight children. I have all their names and birth years with no other details except for the oldest son, William Spooner who was born abt 1878 in Hetton-le-Hole, Co Durham. I have further details of William and his wife and at least one child. Would you be interested in any of this information? And, is this the Ralph who died in the ship's accident? Thank you for any sharing you are willing to do! Sincerely, patrexjax
