Hi Brosie,

as Ev, says you may findit on the Index on SP, but the 100 year rule would prevent you getting a copy online, I think. However, if you could supply names, ship etc, others may be able to assist.

Cheers for that Ev, no joy I'm afraid, remember my father telling me all my grand aunt got was a telegram informing her of his death.  :)

Tom , just to say SP online deaths certificates are limited to 50 years.

Seaweed is one RC member who is very good for seamans records.

Hi Brosie,

I have relatives from Stevenston and Saltcoats area, some of them are McIntyres, and some who changed their name to "Frew". This will be interesting.

Have you got a Date of Birth for Charles McIntyre, was he part of the crew or a passenger?
