Since the Newspaper report seems to be sometime after the Lloyd's entry I took 'Late' to mean dead, what think you?
I have come across it many times, always in the context of "formerly commanded by" rather than "deceased".
John, don't confuse Lloyd's Register, an annual volume, with Lloyd's List, a twice weekly newspaper. The Norfolk paper will have taken the item from Lloyd's List because it was of local interest and that's why there's a week's gap. LLoyd's Register information was often a year out of date.
If you are lucky, burial registers of parishes adjacent to the Scroby may record some of TRANSFER's dead, sometimes even by name but more often "drownd seaman from ****** vessel".
Tammy Goodsir, of South Moor Street, Bishopwearmouth, born c. 1782 was buried in Sunderland in 1834.
