absolutely amazing find....I am so grateful for this...still not resolved my problem of who his parents are but I am sure there may be a death cert now.  Poor man after shovelling all that coal. and then to die from food poisoning....
seems to have been a long journey as well...
I need to try and work out the site as I still have my gt grandfather Macdonald to find, although I know  he left Montrose and went to Ghana...(the Goldcoast) and Williams son John seems to disappear between my gt grandmother being born in 1880 and the census in 1881 where her mother is listed as a widow.

So I really need to try and get my head round it..

Thanks to everyone for all the help I have received...I am so grateful

Regards, to all

I'm so happy for you. You were so disappointed when you got the wrong death certificate.
Told you to never to give up.
Well done seaweed!

John Carnegie Allan married Helen Wemyss in 1877 and off the top of my head, I think it was Bervie

Have you checked the 1880 Marine Return death for John Allan?

Further research suggests William Allan/Allen died from Cholera possibly  in a Latitude near Balaclava around 8/6/1855 to 12/6/1855 (Dates vary)  and left  wages of £36 14 10  which was given to the British Consul at Constantinople. I have sent details to Lynda via email.
There is a big problem with the writting in the logbook and its very difficult to read.
Could his body have been taken ashore and buried in Balaclava?

I see what you mean about the writing being difficult to read! I think it reads;
William Allan,seaman had an attack of diarrhoea...!
