Re: Date of death
In Response To: Re: Date of death ()

probably no more that cost of renting a cabin on one of the Steam Packet boats - the family would aleady have a burial spot in Malew and the Victorians were more familiar with death then today. There would have been several sailings a day from Liverpool as June was start of Holiday season. Most of IoMSPCo records are now in Manx Museum - there might well be a price list giving cost of conveying a, presumeably accompanied, coffin.
