Depends on the dates. There are some lists of incoming passengers to U.K. on some pay sites such as Find My Past (and possibly Ancestry).
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
It’s also a bit easier than it was due to the Ancestry feature giving you Maternal and Paternal matches.That feature is now only available if you have a current subscription.
There is a Catherine LORTON who died in Wales in 1917 - I am sure you have seen (2 entries with wildly different ages). I am sure she isn't your one. But I wondered if the family had heard she had died. Enquiries were made and they were given that death, and accepted it? - stranger things have happened.I have seen the 2 entries in 1917 and wondered about them. Not sure if the mysterious Mr. Lorton would have been alive in 1917 when Kate was supposed to have died.
What date was Patrick's will written?
What on earth is the Marquis of Aghadowey doing posting in the "Beginners" board?
What hope do the rest of us have?
Isn't there only one chief mourner??No, newspaper reports often mention 'chief mourners.'
Looking at the report of Patrick’s funeral in 1916, he is survived by two sisters and two brothers but only one (Miss Dempsey) is a chief mourner. The other three must have been out of the country.There were two brothers that I know of- Frederick James (d.1918 New York, unm.) & Francis James (d.aged 11 weeks).
