Best I can do... "Dollar is a village nestling in a fold of the Ochil Hills on the northern bank of the River Devon, east of Stirling. "
I was curious about 72160 as Grantchester isn't known for its seafaring folk. I couldn't find any trace of him on Ancestry or indeed of Morleys in Grantchester. Oh well, mustn't get distracted.
Looking at his history on the claim form I cannot see any Royal Navy. He went to see on a whaling ship from London aged 13. Maybe the family moved to London.
Found him on his daughters' marriage certificates. He married a woman thirty years younger and was then left a widower with three young daughters.
On the census he says Trumpington. Next-door parish to Grantchester. Not known for its seafarers either. I have noticed that most of the mariners come from fairly coastal places, although there was one from Buckinghamshire.
