I stand corrected Jebber. Never too old to learn.

Emeltom

That is what I like about this hobby of ours, there is always something new to learn, it is remembering everything we learn that is the problem. ;D ;D ;D

the nearest match being Richard Gardner Jan/March 1855 Ulverston 8e 506, aged 60 (from GRO index) I have ordered this cert (he was a fisherman/sailor so may have died aboard ship and landed at Ulverston hence the death being registered there)

Have you received this certificate if so what information does it give

So the DC arrived yesterday and confirms he was found drowned in Barrow Harbour, a seaman aged 50-60, informant was the coroner. A newspaper search turned up a tiny report on the inquest. No name mentioned but he was of the flat (sailing cargo boat) Dinas captained by a Baxter. Richard's wife was a Baxter so maybe a relative 🙂

Thank you for posting the details.
It looks as though the 'Dinas' mainly carried iron ore.  Newspapers have sailings mentioning Morecambe & Barrow.  I can't see any mention of Richard in 1855 though.  I have found Morecambe/Heysham/Lancaster generally quite well covered by online newspapers so it is a shame there is nothing more evident.

I found the inquest report in the Kendal Mercury. I too am surprised that none of Lancaster papers have printed it, one had the articles above and below the inquest report but not the inquest. Most frustrating when these newspapers often ran the same stories just with slightly differing details. Thanks for the input everyone  :)
