Does anyone on the list have access to the "Marine Births, Deaths & marriages" put out by the Dept of Justice (Victoria) The indexes cover BDMs on board coastal & international ships bound for Victoria between 1853-1920. A member of one of my families, died on the way from Ireland in the 1880s. The ship did stop at Adelaide & Melbourne before arriving in Sydney. I have a letter from the ship's surgeon who stated she was buried at sea, her name was Jane Allen BELSHAW and she was only a few months old. If anyone can assist, please contact me offline. They lived in Sydney from the 1880s-1940s then moved to the Hawkesbury.
