The papers don't seem to mention the shipwreck itself as a separate event. I would like a date for the wreck, it could be earlier than the 9th. I note that at this time burials were quick, the Warkworth registers for the early 19th century show date of death and date of burial, burial being 1, 2, or 3 days after death normally. I assume it would be the same in the mid 18th C.
