Can anyone lookup the overseas death indexes, please ? James SANDERSON died after 1851, 'lost from the top mast' ?? Also possibly his brothers in India, Charles 1870, William 1870 and Alexander 1860. Di in Sydney

Hi Glitter baby Thanks for looking - I also think this may not be the right James Sanderson, but you never know. I would have thought it unlikely that the master was on the topmast, but maybe the story is not true. Di
