I wonder if this is an infant death to the couple in QLD

In 1863(REG/M58) Annie Bowden. Father Samuel Bowden Mother Annie -  aged 10 months.

That is a marine death entry so must be the child that died on the voyage.

but in the passenger list it names a samuel with no age...

[aniph]

Does the passenger list record the deaths on board?

[sparrett]

I noted that gap without age and with the name Samuel BOWDEN on the immigration index.

Perhaps it means infant with Samuel BOWDEN

ANNIE JNR. is not listed as arriving with the couple.

samuel is listed with no date...

Hi
What I am trying to say is that the child who died onboard is ANNIE.

The death, as is the custom was registered at the next port of call which in this case was their destination.

The fact the name SAMUEL is seen means, I think, the child was in the care and custody and guardianship of SAMUEL and is unnamed as a passenger.

Happy to be contradicted on this one, but the death of ANNIE is clearly MARINE.
