Lancashire / Mystery of the death of Peter Pendleton
« on: Wednesday 11 July 12 20:28 BST (UK) »
I have been searching for the death record of my great grandfather Peter Pendleton for many years. He was born in Huyton in 1853. I have his baptism, his marriage, every census to 1911, addresses for him in 1918, 1920 and 1922 (taken from son's army records). My father, who was born in 1911, remembered him well. So... I know he died after 1922. I know he went to live with his daughter Jane, who married Henry Barton. They lived in St Helens (they had a china shop). Jane Barton died in 1934. I am guessing that he probably died between 1922 and 1934.
I sent for a death certificate of a Peter Pendleton who died in 1926 but it wasn't him. I know that there were three Peter Pendletons born around 1853 (one was his brother who died as a baby). I have followed the other one, and I am sure it is his death certificate I have.
Now... I have just found a record I haven't found before! But I don't understand it. Can anyone help? It is from FindMyPast, and it is a death of a Pendleton on a ship. It doesn't give the first name, so it could be a complete red herring. These are the details:
Name:PENDLETON
Date of death:July 1923
Age:
Place of death:
Place of birth:
Belonging to service:
Ship's name:San Gil
Series:BT334 - Registers and Indexes of Births, Marriages and Deaths of Passengers and Seamen at Sea
Box:0078
What is the ship, and does it mean this person worked on the ship, or was a passenger.
I am not sure if I've posted this on the right forum but given he is from Lancashire!!
