Found this MI in Canada while I was looking for something else.

Inscriptions on the Monuments In the Old Burying Ground of Saint John, New Brunswick

Sacred to the memory of William P Grossard, Master Mariner, a native of Beddeford, England, who departed this life the 23rd Oct 1825 aged 68 years

Hope its useful & that i've posted it in right county :-)

Bedfordshire is some distance from the sea and we don't find many master mariners from the couny.

Possibly it's Bideford, Devon, which is only 5 miles from the ocean

Nice thought, I'm sure someone will find it very useful.

Bideford was once a major port.

I have just slid this thread across to the "Strays" forum, where the details of lost sheep needing a home may be posted.

Thank you for posting the details, HiFly. :)
