Wiltshire / PERRY Navy Eaten by sharks!!!!!!!!
« on: Thursday 23 February 12 18:13 GMT (UK)  »
I know that William J Perry of Devizes (think born at the Pelican Inn) deserted from his ship off Natal South Africa and was declared dead in 1860.
Question:- How do I check this info with either the British or Merchant Navy?
Also does any one have any idea where to go to check info from possible South African newspapers of the time?
The info we have came from wills but I'm not sure of details and as gory as it is would like to know more.
Any thoughts/ideas please?
