Hello Lesley and Penny,

In my family, we had a "death at sea" of a baby born four days out of
Sydney in 1841. There were details in the Surgeon's report. I don't
think I found a death here, however her twin sister who eventually became
my great-grandmother was listed on her NSW birth registration as "born at sea".

Best wishes,

Liz W.
