If an English born person died on board ship sailing between England and Canada around 1880/1881, how or where will the death be recorded? |

Hello there. The event would be recorded in the ships log, and then has to be reported when the ship docks. My wife's great great g'dad died on board ship on the way back from Newfoundland. The boat docked in Bearhaven in Ireland, (then part of England) and the death was recorded there. I would think in Canada the death would have to be registered with the British Consulate. Hope this helps. Regards. Keith |
