246168 Ch.Skr. Edward Maguire Royal Navy HMS Curlew After my Mother's death death my step-father gave me her photograph album with a group photo of her father, Chief Stoker Edward Maquire on HMS Curlew. I was able to read the name on the cap of one of the sailors.
I've discovered that he was in Plymouth at HMS Vivid II when she was conceived, but unfortunately, he died of heat stroke, in Aden, while serving on HMS Clematis, which he was in between 19th of July 1921 and the date of his death 3rd of September 1921, so he died before my mother was born in January 1922.
