Hi Percy
About the only info on the Death Cert that doesn't appear on the Death Notice
is the cause of death, the duration of the last illness, the doctor's name and
the cemetery.

About your shipwreck - go to your local library and look through some of the
Lawrence GREEN books, he loved those shipwreck stories and they do make
entertaining reading.
