It The date of death of May 1805 is believed the dates as stated may be inaccurate, and it is believed the time difference between death and burial was much shorter, a normal ship's voyage.<ref> findmypast has a burial record for “Mrs Lucy Clark, Passenger, Ship Dav. Scott” for burial on 1 January 1805. It is believed there is also some correspondence on the ''Rootsweb India List '' Archive, not currently (2018/02/02) available</ref>
