Admin kenf48 Posted 16 May , 2020 Admin Share Posted 16 May , 2020 If you want to know his cause of death, as he literally died 'at home', his death certificate should tell you. The Daily Gazette for Middlesborough 25th November courtesy BNA I think GRO are still doing online certificates for a small sum. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDWARD1 Posted 16 May , 2020 Share Posted 16 May , 2020 interestingly his cousins Charles Chrystal Duncan and Lionel Duncan (Brothers) both died at sea after the Ida Duncan of which Charles was the engineer and Lionel the Master hit a mine laid by U32 Herbert Bryer, 1.5 miles East of South Gare (which Ray will know). There were 4 other casualties. The Duncans were quite a maritime family and the middle name Chrystal is prominent as was naming there vessels with Duncan in the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDWARD1 Posted 16 May , 2020 Share Posted 16 May , 2020 Harry Scott 19 the fireman aboard the Ida Duncan also lost his life and was washed ashore at Redcar and identified by a ring with the words "I cling to thee" given by his mother.
