William Darling (d.1865), father of the heroine Grace Darling (1815-42). In 1815 William succeeded his father as keeper of the lighthouse on Brownsman Island, one of the lonely Outer Farne Islands of the Northumbrian coast, and in 1825 he took over the new Longstone lighthouse there. When in 1838 the steamer 'Forfarshire' was wrecked on the rocks nearby, William and Grace rowed out to the wreck and rescued nine people. The event caught the nation's imagination and Grace was heralded as a national heroine. After she died prematurely William continued to work at the lighthouse until he was allowed to retire on full pay in 1860.
