I should have said that I emailed them. I didn’t send a letter

Other Countries / Civil Records MAURITIUS
« on: Thursday 14 July 22 11:20 BST (UK) »
Has anybody had experience with obtaining records from the Civil Status Division of Mauritius? I wrote some time ago about relatives who had died there or had been born there. The CSD replied - "Please send us a copy of your passport or ID card so that we can process the request. Once the document is ready, an officer will contact you for payments and courier or if you choose to have a relative collect your document."
I hadn't told them any specific details, e.g. names or dates, and wrote back asking for clarification. Six months later I haven't heard anything further. Any advice on how best to let them know what I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

No this is definitely "my" Patrick Doyle. I was curious as to whether there would be an official death certificate as there would be for a normal death on land or was there just the records I mentioned above.

Is that record in lieu of a normal death certificate?

Family History Beginners Board / Patrick Doyle lost at sea

Following up on a post last year, I have been able to establish that Patrick my great great grandfather, Patrick Doyle, died on October 25/26 1859 when his ship, the Royal Charter, sank in a storm near Moelfre off the coast of Anglesey. I got this information from the ship's return document - Account of Foreign Going Ship to be delivered to the Shipping Master at [Liverpool]. He was about 38 years old and married to Bridget. They lived in Upper Wolfe street (or Woolf Street) at the time.
I have searched GRO for a death record, using both Anglesey and Liverpool District of Death criteria. I have also looked at newspaper archives but with no success. Any thoughts on where else I could look for a certificate would be greatly appreciated. I'm presuming there was a certificate somewhere as the 1861 census says that Bridget was then a widow.

Dear Heywood that is so kind of you, thank you. We went to Moelfre a few weeks ago and found a memorial on the headland and lots of memorial stones and graves in St Gallgo church graveyard. Where is the memorial you found? We are hoping to go back when the weather picks up. Thank you again for your thoughtful gesture.

I have looked at a random selection of pages from 1 to 175 of this particular parish marriage records (covering 1832-37) and all appear to read "with consent of Friends". I managed to locate a similar set for Ruabon nearby and the consent of ... is left blank right throughout. As someone indicated, perhaps it was just how the clergyman decided to fill in the details.
