claims he died when mate on a schooner (Trial, from Watchet)) full of coal and
rammed by another ship during a gale in the Bristol channel. Nick says "My
great-aunt told me that Joseph was drowned in his fishing boat just outside Watchet
harbour during a storm. But neither of us can find any record of his death ..
Joseph was the mate on a Watchet-owned fishing smack called ‘Tom’ together
with his brother-in-law Joseph Pittaway (Martha’s elder brother), a William
Webber who may be related to Martha’s mother, Jane Webber, and another Joseph
Pittaway who was probably a nephew of Joseph’s of that name ... the
information about Joseph on the 'Tom' was from 1863 and came from a new 'crewlists'
feature in findmypast.com. and a little book called 'Tales of Watchet Harbour'
in which the 'Tom' (and the 'Trial') are listed as Watchet-owned boats. There
is also a picture of Joseph Pittaway, who captained 'Tom' and went on to captain
a boat called 'Kelso'. He was Martha Pittaway's elder brother."
