Morning Seaweed, Thank you for that, your advise has helped however I won't be able to visit the LMA as I live in NZ but will see what the cost would be for a search, I may have to settle with the list you posted.

Glamorganshire / Re: Swansea newspapers
« on: Monday 11 June 12 07:05 BST (UK)  »
Evening Seaweed, Well I have found my W.G.Brooks, he died of dysentry in Rosario, Argentina on 8th October 1890 age -56, he was sailing on the S.S.Oriente from Liverpool (Ship's No 54992).
The record was in BT 156 Monthly list of deaths of seaman.
Is it possible to obtain a death certificate - if so, where from?
On the monthly list which gave all the above details, under the colmn "source of information" it reads W & E.1 C17, C144/91 - can you please help me on these details.
I have searched for years as to the whereabouts of this g.grandfather now we can finally say where he is buried:)

Thank you for that B and Bernard, the Glass Brooks is correct, this Brooks family are all mariners  and this is the grandson of my g grandfather, unfortunately I am still trying to locate my g grandfather I am lead to believe that he died while on a voyage and is buried in Argentina.  I have narrowed his death date down to between 1890 -1892 hense this WG Brooks (born 1892) is named after his grandfather.

Thank you for that Seaweed, I will check out the London Met Archives and let you know how I get on.

I am not all that hopeful with William Glass but he has always been a mystery.

Will keep in touch when I get any news.
