Hello again David,
Yes and No..
My mother Iris Mabel Palmer b.07.02.1923 married the same Leonard Deal, my
sister Valerie Ann was the only child. My mother remarried later, my father
John beaumont Tate,adopted Valerie.We lived at Castle terrace, Church Hill.
I worked for some time with Joe (william) Deal on his shrimper Endeavor
(which has been restored to her former glory) before moving on to the
bawleys "Enterprise" and "Saxonia"
I would be most glad to pass on (off list) any further info,should you wish
