yes, a sea captain. Slight hitch - at first I had him confused with someone completely different but, thanks to the self-published family histories mum has plied me with, I'm back on track.
Funnily enough, the sea captain is supposed to have been a Cornish-man, just like the imposter I had previously identified.
I'm pleased about that. For some reason I'm keen on Cornwall.
The disappointing thing about the family history about Laura Williams (later Hardy) is that amongst the dozens of pages she only gave one line to her mum's death. Was she too traumatised to reflect on it, or were they just not close? The only thing I'm sure about is that I'll most probably never know.
