historydavid Posted 29 September , 2007 Share Posted 29 September , 2007 Shelly, welcome aboard. The Admiralty death records for the 3 men that died on 20/1/20 show that they drowned in a boat accident. Incidentally, the Ivy was sold in February 1920.

historydavid Posted 30 September , 2007 Share Posted 30 September , 2007 Shelley, Admiralty death records were not official certificates, but recordings of events on cards or in ledgers. However, if want to see a record you can follow per a's advice above. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiegeGunner Posted 14 November , 2007 Share Posted 14 November , 2007 The long arm of the forum strikes again - brilliant, Michael. Shelley hasn't visited the forum since her last post on 30 September, so perhaps you should send her a PM and hope she has opted to receive e-mail notification of new messages.
