Bodies from the Rothesay Castle disaster were washed up over a wide area of Anglesey but the body of William Bottomley was found near Blackpool.
William Bottomley was a Cotton Spinner at Rakewood Mill and was 28 years old.
He is buried in ' The Friends Burial Ground ' at Rochdale.
As a result of this disaster, a lifeboat was established at Penmon on the S. E. tip of Anglesey in 1832 and a lighthouse built there in 1837.
