My ancestor Mary Bluett had two chldren when she was in Hong Kong in March 1846. She boarded a ship to England in May and on arrival she only had one child. As little Thomas did not die on the ship, I can only assume he died between March and May in Hong Kong. He would have been about 9. OK then, you clever people... how do I find out?

Have you checked the overseas section of the GRO?

Yes Pippa, a long time ago. I'm afraid my Bluetts seem to have had an aversion to submitting to official records.
