The report of that death is in the Berwickshire News and General Advertiser 11th March 1913

It says
He leaves a widow and a young family of 5

If you have access to the 1911 census, looking for him on ancestry, try a first name of "Christpfor"

The death was registered in the Deaths at Sea register, not in the usual GRO index

Many thanks for this. I would never have found this info without your help. His wife Agnes was widowed yet again after only 8 years of marriage. Perhaps she married again for the 3rd time. Back to the drawing board. Again many thanks
