June 2007: the notes above now seems likely not to be correct. Roderick Craig has established that William died in Ostend in 1836. Roderick writes: I wrote to the Municipal Archives in Ostend asking for a copy of this Guillaume Minter's death certificate. The certificate is, of course, in Dutch but here is what I managed to translate : "Guillelmus Minter, aged 25, born in Folkestone, son of Michael Minter, merchant, living in Ostend, and of the late Hannah Pilcher. He died at n° 4 Kary??? Street, Ostend, the 22nd day of September 1836" Michael Minter, father, was one of the informers."
