Hi All
Just wondering if anyones knows if your husband possibly died at sea 1809ish and you remarried would you need proof of Death from the church to enable you to remarry? also did the Church keep a record of deaths at sea of people from their parish even if there was no body to Bury?And finnally anyone know if Churches kept a record of those who died at sea so i could hopefully contact the church in Newlyn to see if theres any record for one of my relatives who posswibly did die at sea?
Many thanks
