	Kathleen If you can be a little more precise. Was your ancestor in the Navy? Was your ancestor in the Merchant Navy? Was your ancestor on an ordinary sea voyage? Going from where to where? Did your ancestor die on this voyage? If not do you know when/where/how he died? Depending on your own knowledge and research to date might help others to give you a better answer. Janet
