The majority of the passengers on the Mayflower were English religious Puritans who had been living in The Netherlands in order to enjoy the religious freedom that was a available to them there but not in England. However, they did not like the cultural assimilation that was impacting their community, so they obtained from the King of England a grant of lands to settle in America. They hired the Mayflower to take them there. The voyage occurred because that was how they traveled to America.
because the people in the Mayflower wanted to have their own religious ways. in England they chose their religion

Yes. The English colonists' writings mention that two dogs (a spaniel and a mastiff) were brought on the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower. A reference from a 1623 letter leads historians to believe that there were probably goats, pigs and chickens, and possibly even a cow or two on the Mayflower as well.
Not a single woman died on the mayflower. It would have been a man that died on the mayflower, actually i believe it is two men.
No-one drowned or died otherwise during the transatlantic voyage. Only when the crew and passengers had to stay on board when the Mayflower harboured in Cape Cod during the winter in which they arrived, half of them died. Not from falling overboard, but from diseases.
