March 1876 so fits nicely between the REGARD and the DIANA There are no documents for this ship at the National Archives.# Various documents from the Registrar General of (British) Ships and Seamen for 'HASTIA' O.N. 72046 at the Memorial University, Newfoundland, up to and including 1884: http://www.mun.ca/mha/holdings/searchcombinedcrews.php For the 1885 documents, if they have survived, you should try Greenwich, ensuring you include her Official Number http://www.nmm.ac.uk/ If the ship was lost, you might try: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/SHIPWRECK.html Chris ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:02:59 +0000 From: Sally Haden <[email protected]> Subject: [TSL] "Drowned at sea/overseas" death certificate details To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hi folks, Have any of you got a death certificate for a person who was drowned at sea? I would like to know what differences there are between one of those and a normal England/Wales Death certificate, please. I finally have the GRO reference after following the GRO's instructions. I needed the "Overseas" section of their indexes, then within that "Marine, deaths". I just don't know if it worth sending for. So what columns are there on a "Marine" (drowned at sea, overseas) death certificate?

But, I can mention that I tried to find information on-line about the "Lyon" last week and wasn't very successful.

I believe there is an entry for his death in "Deaths at Sea 1837-1845" , perhaps before 1842. Can anyone please tell me the Index Number of this entry so that I can obtain a death certificate? His wife's name was Martha, and their last child was born in 1835. I believe he was possibly an Only Mate, and might have sailed on the ship "Packet" from Stockton. I would be grateful for any help as I have been searching for him for a long time.

Since then, I have found that the Mrs ORR reported as drowned, was in fact a Mr. David ORR, me misreading Mr for Mrs. (Should have gone to SpecSavers)! However, this may help someone else looking for Hestia in the future. I appreciate your help.

He was Septimus Levering Cartwright born in 1826. Septimus was the son of Thomas CARTWRIGHT AND Mary TREEN. The family lived in Kent England. I am only guessing that perhaps he was a seaman on a ship.
