Many thanks Suz,  :) you've got all info right, I had wondered if Thomas was married, but as I couldn't find this I decided he was single and therefore only his parents name.

Best Regards

Can anyone help with further info on the above man, Thomas James Kilty Signalman Royal Navy service # D/JX138661, who died January 1942 when HMS Triumph.  His mother is Ann Kilty address at time of Thomas's death: 15 Cross Street Gilfach Bargoed Wales, this is a family genealogy question.

Further Info:  Signalman Thomas J. Kilty served on HMS Triumph, a T class Submarine that, after two years in the Mediterranean and on a final patrol before heading to UK, was lost, probably to mines, somewhere in the Aegean Sea in January 1942.

Best Regards

Thanks Shaun, As so many places abroad were named after UK places should I assume this was Australia?  Again I'll assume the age of the carpenter was not added, a difficult search and of course someone must have known more for this notice to be in The Wigtownshire Free Press.  No death certificate that I can find so far in Scotland but this was just before 1855, although with the wealthy family that William was married into I thought they would have paid for one!?.
Best Regards

Hi Philip & Ros, :) My grateful thanks for helping me, I tried the site you advised Philip and ended up sending a request form to them, I had went through all the usual suspects, assisted, unassisted etc, and if they get back to me I will post their reply on here.  Ros, here is William's date of birth (should have added this at the start of my query) born 07/05/1827 so around 27 in 1854, as the newspaper has "formerly" Superintendent of Police this would perhaps indicate that he changed his job, to what I don't know, I can't find what job he did before becoming a police officer, he is too young on the 1841 census and married on the 1851 and a Police Officer by then. :-\
Thanks again :)

Hi I'm a new member, can anyone help me to find out what ship William Ross sailed on to Australia? and what happened to upset the boat? also where I can find his death certificate?.  His wife and two children remained in Kirkmaiden.
“Drowned, at Hobson's Bay, Port Philip, on the 12th January 1854 by the upsetting of a boat, Mr William Ross, formerly superintendent of police at Stranraer.
Many thanks
