I have just picked up this thread. I have discovered pictures of Capt Edward Cork(h)ill on a wonderful Manx website. On 1 Feb 1919 there was an announcement of resignation from sea service of Capt. Edward Corkill, senior shipmaster in the employ of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co. My grandmother (Lilian Ada Ferraby) was the sister of Ted's second wife, Florence Mary Ferraby - so I guess that makes us distantly related?
