In following article > refer to last paragraph > a report from Andrew NASH the Physician/Surgeon aboard "British Empire" 1864, four deaths (no names, only descriptions), are given.

... reference to "old lady, nearly 80 years" ... is probably Mrs FISHER (80) (- rather than 70), referred to in most of the other versions of the "British Empire" passenger lists ?   Also mentioned  "delicate baby only one month old".
