Samuel Adams,died on board 'Brig Nellie" St Georges Dock, Liverpool
« on: Wednesday 26 March 08 16:26 GMT (UK) »
My Grt Grandfather x2 died on board the Brig Nellie, St Georges Dock, Liverpool.He died from natural causes  ( coroners report on death cert )and  was taken to the "dead house "  I would like to find out more about Samuels seafaring life and if it is possible to find out more about the Brig Nellie.
Can someone look up newspapers for Liverpoool please if that is possible? It would be the Echo or Mercury for 18 March 1876. I would like to know if there is a mention of his death or if in the shipping section Brig Nellie is mentioned in port at that time or any other.
I am working and have limited time to go and look this up myself, so would appriciate any help !

Hello,
I've just found this website and I'm very interested in anything you can learn because Samuel Adams was my 4 x great grandfather.
I thought it was a dead end after I found out where he died and then I found this discussion. Excited to see where it leads.
