Could someone please find the death of Robert Dodds ( a Mariner ) for me. I presume he died between 1841-1844. Not on the free bmd for Norfolk.
Could he have died at sea?
On the census 1841 his wife Sarah aged 25 and 3 children, the youngest 1 month old,
are living in Thornham, Norfolk where his wife and children were born.
Sarah remarried in 1844 to a George Sheldrake and on the 1851 census they are living in Thornham.
Many Thanks,
Devis :)

By co-incidence I have a record of the death but not from bmd. Robert Dodds death on 6 Nov 1841 is shown on the crew list for the Reuben out of Thornham I have just looked up at the NA. My 3G grandfather was a seaman on the same crew. I will email you details.
