Heather, I haven't been following this discussion, but your metion of a ship sinking grabbed my attention.  There is a jolly good website called The Ships List.  It contains links to shipping companies, passenger lists etc.  It is a easy site to navigate. I can see more puns here:-)) The link is  http://www.theshipslist.com/   The site is, in my opinion, excellant, and it may contain a link to, or advice about, deaths at sea lists.  Richard Brown Bromley Kent U.K. ----- Original Message ---- From: Heather <hh.in.hants@roccoland.plus.com> To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, 26 September, 2009 17:01:43 Subject: Re: [SRY] Anyone going to TNA [Kew] Hi Nivard, Thank you for your reply, I am 99.9% certain of the date the ship went down, and as I like you had already checked GRO indexes, Overseas, Regiment/ navy etc registers, the only records I know off left to check are the deaths at sea registers, hence I made request for the "Deaths at sea" to my knowledge these are not online and only now available at Kew [TNA]. Thanks anyway, Heather
