Thanks for the info, William Telfords inscription I'd found from the War Graves Commmision and I've an interesting account on the last days of the Ramsey from an article linked from this website.

What I haven't been able to trace is a DoB for William, working through different maritime offices has revealed that the pre 1918 records were lost in the 60's. I was hoping to pick the DoB up from the death cert. He moved to island between 1901 Census and birth of my Granddad, so I need the DoB to reduce the number of possibles I have.
