Hi folks I have recently found a reference on Ancestry to the death of a David Wilby, who appears to have absconded to the US following bankruptcy proceedings being taken against him in 1821/1822. WILBY,David, “a strain in a ship,” [buried] June 22, 1822. (Medford, Massachusetts) Could anyone offer an explanation to the cause of death 'a strain in a ship'? With regards Raymond Wilby Morley, West Yorkshire
