I think that William Wilkinson was one of the men (boys!) killed during the explosion.  Certainly he is noted on a list of fatalities published in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail (9th Sept 1880)

Coming slightly forward, as you mention your aunt Rebecca.  I can see her and her husband Canse Maddison on the 1939 register, and can also see their marriage in 1928 with the slightly more prosaic name of Michael Maddison!

Canse applied for naturalisation in 1933, giving the his name as Miguel Arcangel Morales Latorre (known as Canse Maddison)

I think, but not positive, that Rebecca and Canse's son died in a tragic accident in 1945, however because it is relatively recently I shall send you the details in a personal message.

Did your Aunt Florence marry John Knox?  If so, using www.freebmd.org.uk you can search for the births of any cousins that you have/had on that side.  From the search page, click on births, then type Knox in the surname box and Wilkinson in the spouse/mother surname box.  To narrow things down further, you can select 'Easingham' in the Districts selection to the right.

Have a look here - I think William Mollon is one of your cousins on your father's side (son of Agnes bn 1880) http://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/nostalgia/1915-court-boys-charged-with-theft-of-fish-and-fowl-1-7603779

Tragically, 5 years later he was killed when his boat struck a mine.  He is remembered on the memorial at Tower Hill, London http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=15241846&ref=acom
