	By 1881 Grace is a widow, if he died at sea there will not always be a death cert.

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 34 Send Message	lindab thanks anyway Do you know where to find employment records for that period? or crew lists, I don't know if he was a sailer or merchant or even just a simple fisherman. How can I find out?

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 1,817 Send Message	So sorry Lesley...I am afraid I cannot help.. it's somewhat out of my league now. I have taken a look on FindMyPast GRO Consular death Indices from 1871 to 1882 and I cannot find anything there either. Linda
