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

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. :)
