It is not well known that drownig in tidal rivers and creeks are recorded on the GRO Deaths at Sea index (Maritime Deaths) and not on the normal bmd indexes of deaths. Took me years to find the death by drowning, from barges, of two cousins. One in Faversham Creek and the other on the Medway off Upnor. Drowning from the beach may be on the normal bmd indexes. Of that I am not sure. Dennis Bramble.

I believe they are in the normal bmd indexes. My great grandfather's death is recorded there - his body was found at the water's edge by Southport Pier early one Sunday morning. Seems he may have fallen off the pier while drunk. Brian Griffiths On 13/06/2014 09:24, dennis bramble wrote: > Drowning from the beach may be on the normal bmd indexes.

My relative drowned in the Mersey and he is listed in the normal BMD too. His death certificate also included coroner's comments which was helpful.
