Some time ago I was asking about my relation, Robert Godsoe, a master mariner.  I have found out a lot about him from various internet site.  He was a Master Mariner of a ship called 'Elizabeth Bentley' in 1854 and 1858, working from Liverpool to New Brunswick.   He married in Southport in 1864  and had a son in 1865.  However, by 1871 his wife was a widow.  I cannot find a death between 1865 and 1871 on dry land.  How can I find a possible death at sea?

Thank you so much for the information on Robert Godsoe; it will help a great deal with my research.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my query.   I discovered independently, ie from my sister!, that the College was on Aytoun Street.

I am trying to find my ancestor, Robert Godsoe, who was a Master Mariner from Liverpool, born 1835 and died some time between 1864-1870.   I don't know the name of any ship he captained.

I attended Manchester College of Commerce from 1959 to 1961 but can't remember the name of the street it was on.  Can anyone help?
