Could the town have changed its name since 1883? I've found that to be true when looking for others.

Also, I've used MapQuest when trying to find towns in Ontario, Canada only to discover a few of the small towns aren't listed.

The GRO marine Deaths index shows an entry in 1883

Surname STARKIE
Name Jonathan
Age 30
Name of Vessel PARISIAN
Page 178

Armed with that information you could buy a copy of his death certificate from the GRO


Also check this site for details of the sailings of the SS Parisian
