Thanks for that lancsann.

I was posting it more because of Squire’s involvement as witness and then marrying the widow.

just posted for info really I found a death for a Robert a mariner but the father was wrong

It’s difficult isn’t it. As has been said, perhaps  all away 1871 and Mary died then.

So witness ends up marrying widow! Sailors!! Just wonder when Mary died and where. Thanks for the info though, that was interesting.

Robert apparently died 1902 in Las Palmas,  Canaries according to various sites.

From this

At this period his home was at Portneen, Portrush, when
in 1878 his only son, the late Captain Halton Sterling Lecky,
C.B. R.N., was born.

Halton’s  birth

Of course he had the boys with Mary Lloyd and the two marriages are mentioned in various searches.

The family might have been in Ireland in 1871 but still  can’t see a death for Mary and Charles B could be in school.

Cannot win them all, so shall just leave the date of his first wifes death blank. I think that it is obvious that she did die, hence why he married again.
Thank you all very much indeed for all your information and assistance its been brilliant and I can now write a small article for the Society of Dorset Men year book. If they use it however is another matter.

Where and how did Robert Lloyd die, anybody know! A master mariner so maybe at sea of a foreign port perhaps!

Heywood - interesting that article you provide a link to say Squire Lecky died in Las Palmos in 1902

Hi lancsann,

Did I misunderstand your post re a death for Robert? Did you mean Robert Lloyd?
I was thinking you meant Squire  I should read it more closely.
