Overseas or Death at Sea- Thomas Newton
« on: Sunday 17 August 08 10:32 BST (UK) »
Dear All
I am hoping for a bit of help with this I have a death I cant seem to find it was between 1871 and 73 he was a seaman in Merchant or Royal navy some documents have him listed as both by 1873 his wife had remarried stating she was a widow. In 1871 he was listed as being in Plymouth. I was wondering if some kind person has the access to the overseas deaths.

Many Thanks
Val

Hi Val

There's nothing in the FindMyPast 'deaths at sea 1854-1890' listings  :-\

Hello Gadget,

Can I be cheeky  ;), I'm looking for my gg grandad William Jasper Richards, he died between 1872 and 1878 at sea.  He was a merchant seaman, living in Plymouth.

Could you check the FindMyPast records for him?, or let me know where I could access them?.

Thanks

Hi Trippy, Definitely the same man.  Very exciting.  I am very new to RootsChat.com ie. 2 days.  I joined when I was surfing the the net for William Jasper Richards and came across your post. So don't quite know what to do next.  cassco
