Hi, Many thanks for your reply and information on the SS Fire Queen. The Gideon Anderson (who's death I am searching for) was born in 1826 at Flugath, North Roe (which is at the top of the main island) Shetland. Yes that is him on the “Scotia” in April 1861. He married Elizabeth Hall in December 1851 at Lerwick, five children born, three survived. The search for the reason of death and where seem to now centre around the SS Fire Queen and her voyage September/October 1868. He would be about 42 years of age. Thanks, Gideon.
