I'd see if there is a section of Irish death registration called deaths at sea and see if he appears there.

Seen as though John & Winifred lived in Clarence St are this family connected to her..

Also the Matthew baptism has mother as Margaret Bulter.. is this your Matthew as i dont know what year he was born.. maybe Margaret is a mistake..

Hi Collette yes this is Mathew and Tobias they have the wrong name as their mother was Winifred Butler Tobias was drowned at sea his ship the SS Ashcrest was attacked by a german submarine in 1940 which was very sad both sons followed their father to go to sea
