Title: Mary FAWLEY died onboard Panmure in 1887 - look up
Post by: Bengal28 on Saturday 06 January 18 16:34 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I am tracing Mary ROSE born 1832 Croydon Surrey, first husband Francis GRIMSLEY, second husband Francis FAWLEY.
As Mary FAWLEY she boarded the Panmure with husband and daughter Emily bound for Australia. Unfortunately she died while at sea (off the coast of Brazil) on 19 June 1887. I have a copy of the passenger list which shows her death.

I was trying to find out if a death cert would have been registered, but the only record I have found is on Find My Past.  It shows a different birth year  :
Fawley Mary b1838   d1887  New South Wales Deaths 1788-1945    
Location : Marine, New South Wales, Australia

Would she have been buried at sea?
Do you think 'Marine' records a death at sea? If so, could someone look it up please?
If death registered can I order a copy cert?

Any advice gratefully received
Thanks

I don't know if this link might be of  help

Deaths at sea
From March 1856 the NSW Registry required masters and commanders of British and Colonial vessels arriving in Sydney to record deaths that occurred on the voyage.

The official record was filed by the registry in separate volumes known as the Marine Registers.

Searching the index shows following
FAWLEY  MARY 13540/1887 AGE 49  Died at sea MARINE PDF available

You will need to buy the certificate from the registry to find other details such as the date and cause of death and the latitude/longitude where the death occurred etc...

Surgeon’s journals contain a wealth of information - entries are very detailed especially in the event of a birth or death at sea..........
