There are records of deaths at sea at The National Archives at Kew. They are held as original documents (in the series BT 334) The indexes are also original documents in the same series. It is possible to find which one by browsing through the entries in their "Catalogue". They are held by year. |

It should be on FMP in Marine deaths and it will give you the name of the vessel which you will need if you want to locate the Ships Log which may be a Kew .but not available online. |

I'm trying to trace a death at sea, in 1910/11. Could anyone advise where I might find this information? I have looked at the FMP overseas deaths, but I am not sure how comprehensive this set of records is. Also, I may need to look at merchant navy deaths. |
