Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help needed with a death at sea please.
« on: Sunday 08 March 15 19:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
Find my past are doing a free weekend until midday on Monday 9th.
I have found Peter Callison, I have been trying to find out what had happened to him for 10 years.
Find my past shows he died at sea on 13th July 1853, the vessels name was the Harold sailing out of Shields. Could anyone please try to read the Masters name (it looks like Detchern), also what's written under place and cause of death plus what's written under the fee of 2 shillings and 4d.
His wife Jane Callison nee Townsend remarried in 1857, I have never been able to find a death certificate for Peter is that because this record is a type of death certificate?
Thanks for your help
