Did he die at sea or at home? If he was on land, then his death will be in the normal index which is free to search on Ancestry, at this address:- http://content.ancestry(.)co.uk/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=8966&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0 remove brackets. Kath. x

Yes, it's pay-to-view. Unfortunately, you won't know if it's there without looking. Reg
