John BELL
« on: Tuesday 06 February 24 11:10 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace a shipwreck in the Irish Sea between 1901 and 1910 in which 2 sons of John Bell and Margaret Marshall drowned. There were 12 children in the family who lived in Mochrum before moving to England. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Assuming that you don't know the name of the ship, might https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shipwrecks_in_the_Irish_Sea be useful?

Or perhaps the attached screenshot? Though if they were domiciled in England they might not be included in the Scottish Minor Records/Marine Returns.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
