Author Topic: David Bern died in 1892 - where? (Read 648 times)

Hi there

I've attached a line from a record of "Deaths at Sea, reported to the Registrar General of Shipping etc." in the hope the place of death, for David, in the third column can be deciphered for me. The column is headed "Place of Death". He died of Yellow Fever as did the following six men on the record - all at the same place.

Regards

Looks like "Rio Janeiro"

Having checked another (printed) source it is definitely Rio De Janeiro. Ship Mirzapore.

Thanks ShaunJ

Looking at again, and with your response, it's quite obvious really. I got thrown a bit by the entry above it for "Karachi"

Another "case" closed
