I have quiet a lot of material on Doctor Kelburne King, and have spoke with his family at length.  I began exploring King when I discovered he had been named by Robert D'Onston Stephenson as the man that treated him after the shooting at Flamborough in 1868.  I also have evidence that King treated Stephenson in later years on behalf of the Hull Customs.  I have a lot of bmd info, census, photos, maps, newspaper cuttings, and personal notes from King's decendants. 

Here is my article on King and Stephenson and the Incident at Flamborough.
