Trying to work out which boat or ship and where my great great uncle drowned in 1893?
His name was Anthony Hamill from Maryport, Cumberland.

All we have is this death card.
He's not buried in the cemetery here.
If it wasn't for this card we wouldn't even know he existed.
Bit of a mystery.

Yes but that's his half brother also called Anthony Hamill.
So I have two Anthony Hamill's vanishing at sea.

One of the subscription sites has the index of Maritime deaths.  I found someone from my tree (1884) "supposed drowned", just below the entry for "Three Indian Coolies.

I don't have a sub to that site any more.

Nothing under Deaths at Sea recorded by GRO

have you looked at the local papers, for Nov - Jan 1894 and an inquest....?
