Hi All,
The ship S.S.Wooler foundered of Ushant 02/01/1899. My Great Uncle married to my G/G/Grandad Daughter Mary J.Wilde (nee Berry) lived in Birkenhead Cheshire. In 1891 census living at 74,Tavistock Street Toxteth Park Liverpool. Haven't been able to find him anywhere in the 1901 Census. The ship sank 19 missing and 4 rescued. His name doesn't appear amongst those names. He was washed up on the beach and the local residents nursed him back to some reasonable state. He had received severe head trauma injuries. I presume he must have been at that village where ever for quite a while, with him not beening in the 1901 census. He did arrive home and succumbed to those injuries in 1906.Then living in Birkenhead Cheshire at 29, Orchard street Tranmere. I am hoping some one can point me in the right direction.To prove he was on the Wooler, when she foundered, where he received such loving care and how long and when he got home and where he is buried in Cheshire. Even the timiest bit of help would be most appreciated. Thank You and Best Regards Ken Berry ex Anfield Liverpool 4. Prior to 30th,December 1955
