GREENLAND - Joseph Henry (Died at Sea)
« on: Monday 13 October 25 19:28 BST (UK) »
Hello,

This is my first dabble into Australian records and I am pretty much getting overwhelmed and at a loss. I am hoping someone can help me out.

Joseph Henry GREENLAND died on board a ship sailing from Australia to England (I believe the destination was back to his home country). He died on 14th July 1971.

I have no idea where he sailed from (just that it was from Australia) nor what the name of the ship was. I do know he was buried at sea though.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Kindest regards

Softly Softly,

I am not sure why I have to justify my interest in Mr Greenland, however, he was the great grandfather of my son and daughter.

The information comes by way of both research by a Greenland family member and the attached.

Thank you

There are some advertisements for the Ellinis in 1970 including this one leaving Sydney to various ports arriving eventually in Southampton. A world cruise. Not that he was necessarily on this voyage.

Thank you,

Interesting but a year too early. I know from johnwarrn that he arrived in Australia aboard the Ellinis, but I don't know the name of the ship he was on when he passed away in 1971, presumably heading back to Blighty for a visit.
