Hi Carol
Thank you for your interest re this matter. I cannot make contact with celtdomain.com. I would love to know where they got the information thatRobert Ewing (18)* – Donaghmore was from Donaghmore and that John Ewing (16) Donegal was from Templemore. World Press .com has sever doubts about some of the claims made by the Watsons and I share those doubts.
I have been in touch with the Watsons over a number of years re the Duffy's Cut item and while I believe they started out with good intentions I think for their own interests they began making claims that were questionable(to put it mildly) i.e The claim that the remains they took back to Ireland were those of passenger John Ruddy border on lies. They have no proof (DNA or otherwise) of the identity of these or any other of the remains they found. I queried them on this and other aspects of the story and their defence at best was nonsense
The full article by World Press is well worth a read as it points out the weeknesses in the Watsons yarn.
Thanks again for you interest in my post
Patrick
