Thank you both, that's very helpful.

Charles youngest son born 1815 was named Skinner - maybe that's why.

Thanks again.

Charles COLE b 2 Sep 1768 Stepney, London d Oct 1820 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea was a Lighterman.

His first son Charles Philip Waite COLE (1796-1859) was apprenticed to his father on 5 Jul 1814.
The document states
"This Indenture Witnesseth That Charles Philip Waite Cole Son of Charles Cole Citizen and Skinner of London doth put himself in Apprentice to his said Father by Trade a Lighterman and living in Chaney Row, Chelsea, Middlesex"

I am confused as Charles COLE was a lighterman, as was his son CPW COLE, so what does 'citizen and skinner of London mean? I thought a skinner was someone trading furs.

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

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

She is not on the 1851 census, so I'll check for a death record.

Thanks rosie99.
