Hi As Andrew was Scottish, I am not at all sure you would find him at Kew. If they did include Scottish Deaths at sea, it would be worth looking for a few years beyond 1855 as the information often took a long time to get to the UK. You can, I believe, do this on Find My Past. I don't have a subscription. 1855 is bingo year for Scottish BMD records , as the information recorded was very extensive. However, I have been unable to find any information (Death, will) on Scotland's People or in newspaper archives (though I am not nearly as good at searching as Peter Klein!) clare Oxford UK: On a visit to Kew I looked at the mariners deaths c 1855 and did not find his name. As I live in Aus I am unable to make frequent visits to Kew. I also looked for other voyages in 1852 and could not find any in the crew agreements in 1852 from Greenock.
