Well Ive looked on the nationalarchivist 'births, marriages and deaths at sea' (pay to view) but nowt there either. I think may be we will never know. Shame, isnt it. Thanks for everyones kind input. |

His death may never have been registered in his name. In my local parish registers there are umpteen entries for 'an unknown sailor' or 'a sailor found on the rocks at XX from the ship YY'. I seem to recall there was a big winter storm on the east coast of britain feb or march 1871. This could explain things if he was lost at sea. Jools |

Yes Jules, loads of then in the burial regs for all the coastal villages between Filey and Whitby. Poor souls, not even named at their last event. Jay |
