Additional Information

Birth Christened "Thomas"
Christening Christened "Thomas"
Think Luke was at Sea at the time William was born and Christened,
and Abigail called the baby Thomas, after her father,
when Luke returned from sea, He was called William after Lukes's father.
they then called their second son Thomas.

.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF BEING A PRUSSIAN SPY, STORY IN WHITBY GAZETTE DATED 31-12-1870, MASTER OF BRIG SANCHO AT THE TIME.
SUPPOSEDLEY OWNED THE BORDEAUX ALONG WITH A JOSEPH BOVILL ( PART OWNER AND SHIPS HUSBAND ) WHO DECAMPED WITH MONEY ( APPROX 1870 )
"EMERTON"- BOVILL SCARPED WITH SHIP'S MONEY.
Joseph Bovill was born 1815 in Whitby North Yorkshire,the same age as William.
and was thought to have jointly owned a ship to-gether, either the Emerton or the Bordeaux,
like William he was living in Church Street in 1841 -1851, in 1841 he was a Joiner to trade, but appears as a Ship owner in 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881.
In 1861 - 1871 he had moved the family house to Esk Terrace, Whitby with his family. In 1881 he had moved to Ugglebarnby, 7 Sleights Hill, He had been thought by the Nelson Family to have vanished approx 1870 's with the ships money.In 1881he was still a ship owner, and he died in 1890.Whitby area
Have since found out that it was the "Lyra" that Joseph and William owned ( documented on "the Ancient port of Whitby " )in 1865, William continued to sail in Joseph's ships after 1865, so I don't think there is much credence in this tale.
