Don't know the answer to your question, Heather, but if he was lost at sea, what registration district are you expecting it to be in? Wouldn't it have to be where the body was recovered, or brought ashore? If no body, I thought it was a 7 year wait? Jay |

I have my GGM living with her daughter and son in law in 1871 and she is shown as widow. She had been married for nearly 40 years by then to a John Steers who was a mariner. The only likely death I can find of John Steers right age and right reg district is 1873. This a silly question but - if he were say lost at sea, would the registration be later than the actual death? I just cant see this couple splitting up - they were a huge extended family in Rotherhithe. Thoughts please before I waste another £7. |
