Hi Karen: I'm starting work in a few minutes, hence the hasty reply. Aww, it's sad. I've never seen deaths recorded for lookups I've done. :( Rebecca Garner, 38 Lost Overboard Rebecca, 19 Lost Overboard Jas?, 18 Elizabeth, 18 Sarah, 13 Josiah, 12 Martha, 11 Shelomath, 11 Eliza, 10 _____, 9 Lost Overboard Susannah, 7 Lost Overboard Meplzebah, 6 Lost Overboard I hope I copied the information correctly. There are other Garner's listed (on a different page - perhaps not related). I have to start work now.

The names are ;- Thomson G Wright - believe he sailed on the ship Servia which arrived in New York 09/07/1888. He was about 21 and born in Norfolk. The others are a family who sailed on the barque Harvest in 1854. The names of the family are Rebecca Garner 38 Rebecca Garner 19 ?? Garner 18 Elizabeth Garner 15? Norah? Garner 13 Josiah Garner 12 Martha Garner 11 Shelomith Garner 11 Eliza Garner 10 Naomi Garner 9 Suzannah? Garner 7 Hepzibah Garner 6 I believe that some of them did arrive in New York due to a freak wave washing them overboard but i do not know which ones this applies to. If anyone can find out anything about these individuals I would be most grateful. Kind regards Karen
