Yes that's No. 3. I have sent you a PM which hopefully you should find under the My Messages button at the top of the page.
Attached is the only photo of Mabel we have.

This is fantastic – talk about first time lucky- I have never posted on Roots Chat before! So to have received such a wealth of information (I followed the links to your website) is quite overwhelming!
Thank you for the photo of Mabel’s final resting place how kind to take flowers. I have attached a photo of her parent’s, John & Elizabeth’s, gravestone which, like you, I took on a visit to Appledore.
I have a lot of information about the Kenwards if you are interested.
Many thanks for your swift reply and invaluable information.

Unfortunately no photo attached. Mabel's grand daughter went to Appledore last year and was unable to find the graves even though she had visited them in the past. You need to post again before I can send you a PM but probably the best idea is to visit one of my web sites in my signature below my posts by doing a Google search for them and I can then be contacted via email from there. I can put you in touch with your relatives here.

I am researching my great grand aunt Mabel Mayne nee Kenward and she married a Hugh McGuire at Bideford, Devon in 1904. On the Marriage Certificate He is described as a 39 year old widower, a sailor, and his father's name was Jeremiah.
Could this possibly your grandfather? I would love to know what you think.

It is in deed my grandfather and his second wife. Mabel bore a son by my grandfather and there are relatives here in Newport. I visited Appledore a couple of years back looking to see if there were any relatives of hers but failed in the few short hours we were there. I did however find her grave and left some flowers. Attached is her unmarked grave with the basket of flowers we left. Please contact (*)

Try Geoff's search engine and use the word Belfast in the section "include all words". This is what I came up for J O'Brien and also the link to the search engine. There's only a few for Stewart's as well.

I have had a look on Geoff's Search Engine using the date 17 Sept 1940 and Royal Navy. This gave 34 results, 30 of which were from HMS Kent and all listed on the Chatham Naval Memorial which will mean that they have no grave.
Tried another search up to the 30 Sept !940 incase some died from injuries and found no others.
