As for their stepfather -
"....his ship Association foundered on rocks off the Scilly Isles, possibly due to faulty navigation charts. The Admiral was still living when he was thrown up in Porth Hellick cove. However, a woman seeing an emerald ring on his finger, killed him for it. She confessed her crime on her death-bed thirty years later."
