    As well as Darkey he was known as Billy the Wildman. After his conversion he became friendly with one of the Salvation Army nurses,and it turns out she came from a village just a mile down the road from where he had grown up,so they married and returned back home again.And there they lived in the Midlands until he died in 1953.

    We have his whole autobiography somewhere,starting with how he went to sea at 11 and jumped off on the way to find his way around Africa....
