Karl It's just a thought because I had the same problem with one of my ancestors....I notice that David Liggett was a ships carpenter. Maybe he died at sea? Mine did and there is no record of his death anywhere. I managed to trace the ship he was on his Seamans ticket (held at kew) then found out where he was based at the time and then that there was a massive storm killing thousands of seamen. A bit like a jigsaw puzzle that finally all matched up. There were apparently no official records of the mariners names just the missing ships. Sheila
