Hi, sorry not sure, as I say I know very little about Thomas's family except his fathers name and profession, on Thomas's marriage certificate it said his father was a butcher.

Re: Merchant seaman history
Hi Keith, yep, as I say so frustrating I have his and Rhodas marriage certificate and Thomas Ewdward (my grandfathers) birth certificate , they moved to Liverpool and last details I have for him is 1911 , address at that time 72 Dalrymple street. Then nothing, too many Thomas Murphys in Liverpool to identify which one is him to get death certificate etc .....
