I am attempting to find how and when Barnabus Davy Beeson died, he was born in Kings Lynn 1848, he married a Mary Ainslie 23/11/1872 in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, County Durham, had several children, according to Kelly's Directory he was living a 6 Park Lea Rd, Sunderland and was a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy, the 1901 census shows his wife and family with Barnabus missing possibly at sea, he wife Mary is still marked as married so presumably he died some time after 1901/1902 I have seen suggestions that he died at sea in the Indian Ocean and was buried at sea but cannot find any confirmation of this, given a first name of 'Barnabus' he may have gone by the name Davy Beeson but again I can find no confirmation record, presumably if he died at sea a death record would have to be lodged but would this be at the next port of Call or the home port... help am sinking fast
