Is there a way to find a death-at-sea record for the ship British King (Liverpool>Philadelphia), arriv. Philadelphia Mar 6 1888? Family tradition says my great-aunt died and was buried at sea during the family's trip from England to USA. Her name was Eliza Ann YEARSLEY, and would have been abt. 16 yo. (born Jan 1872) I have found the family in a Passenger List, but there is no indication of her death. There is also a "Jno, age 18" that doesn't match, but could be a nephew, etc. The list shows Hanna as a "wife", when she was actually a "widow". (For US Commissioners of Immigration) Port of Philadelphia Passenger list of Steamship British King from Liverpool Arrived March 6th 1888. Hanna YEARSLEY; 50; FM; England; England; wife; no (never been to US); no (..not US citizen) Joseph " ; 19; M; " ; " ; Labourer; "; " Jno " : 18; "; " " " " Eliza Ann " ; 16; FM; " " Spinster; " " James " ; 11; M " " Child; " " Hanna(h) is my greatgrandmother and James my grandfather. There was also a daughter, Ciclia, abt. 18, that I don't find on this list, but did come to US. They came from Chesterton, Stafford, England. They settled in Illinois.
