Findmypast has an index - British deaths at sea 1854-1890. As suggested above put out a separate general request, if people ask for a name obviously provide it but make sure you point out the existence of this thread. |

I have looked on British Nationals Died Overseas 1818 - 2005 and Deaths At Sea 1854 - 1890 nothing for the exact match. |

Hello staffslass, Many thanks for your painstaking search. I have come to the conclusion that William Hotchon does not exist and was a convenient ploy to hide the real name of my grandfather. Where she got the name from I don't know as its a very rare surname. I think she was protecting someone. Regards Brian. |
