Sue just enter the ship's name and the year or month if you know it.  I always enter display 500 names and all the passenger names will be displayed.

I haven't done a lot of research into Diana Rebecca Brown however given the parents names, dates and area, I thought it a likely daughter of Mary ann.

Of course it is Mary Ann's daughter.

I agree Sue.  I don't use the shipping indexes on PROV a lot only the Wills and Admon Index.    Many links on their how to guides which formerly linked to online indexes no longer function and some indexes have been removed.  I've given up contacting them.

mhetfield  to help clarify matters would you please refer to bdm registrations as such as registrations are not certificates.  Saves us asking if you have certificates etc.

Mmm wonder why an inquest into her death was necessary?

Inquest Index
BROWN Mary A
At Horsham  1895  Ref#984

If Mary was buried at the Horsham Cemetery there is no headstone or marker for her or husband William.

The death certificate would certainly throw light on that
