I am, Nicholas Motherway, grandson of John Motherway who spent most of his life in the British Navy. For some years before retirement or maybe after retirement, he was in the coastguard service at Roches Point Co.Cork. Those were the early years of the 20th cent. He died in 1936. I have details of his navy service, a parchment which went with him for every posting with comments from the ship's captain. I would like to know more about him. I am a missionary working presently in Kenya, having spent almost 40 years in Africa. many thanks for accepting my membership Nicholas Motherway |
