Thanks George thought it might be the case that they were not registered in the normal way. They were all fisherman one of whom I know was bombed by the enemy so no luck with the Navy connection. Thanks for all the suggestions guys x |

If they were in the Navy, then they may be on the Commonwealth War Graves website. http://www.cwgc.org/ My gt-grandfather was killed on HMS Queen Mary and is on the site. Hope this helps! J. |

Hi Rosemary As far as I know drownings in inland waters, would have an ordinary death certificate. Two ancestors of my husband's both died in the Clyde Canal and their deaths were recorded along with any other "non" drownings. Patsy |

You have to go to the family records centre in London to order their certificates. There are seperate death indexes for deaths at sea. You will not find them in the normal index available at libraries. |
