Crew List Lookup PLease
« on: Saturday 20 March 10 16:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm hoping somebody can do a crew look up for me as I don't have access to the correct website.
I am looking for

Robert Davies
b. 1847 ish
he was a steamship stoker and died in 1881 and interred in Odessa Russia. We were always lead to believe that he was lost at sea but this doesn't explain the interment.
I'm not sure where he was born could've been Wales but also Bolton area, Lancashire.
His widow was Eliza Davies (nee Sixsmith).

I hope somebody may be able to help

Hi, I'm interested in Thomas Henry Edmunds who was recorded as a maritime death on findmypast. record states he was ships engineer, died of suffocation 1911 Horli (port near Odessa). There's nothing about where or what happened re internment. If you ever got any further with your quest, I'd be interested to hear from you, carolm

Have you tried The National Archives there is a tree on Ancestry that has a death for him 24 September 1881 ...says he drowned while the ship Hesper was docked in Odessa Russia ( shipping news ) ..They have a birth 18th February 1847 Bolton Lancashire father Abel Davies ..Mother Margaret Eliza Holland..
This looks like him on the 1881 census at 29, Joseph Street Stockton Durham
Robert Davies b1847 Bolton age 34 married seafarer ( man ) lodging with a Samuel Warhurst
His wife Eliza at 22.Blackledge Street Bolton Lancashire

Hi Carol and Rosie,

I am very sorry but Cheekymole's email is "over quota" at the moment, we have been unable to notify them of your new replies. :'(
