Brian, You found correctly----but your man drowned from the shore, if he had fallen over from a boat or ship or even just died aboard a vessel even when in tidal waters of rivers or creeks, his death would be in the maritime death 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.

Hello, What about a seaman's or a dock-worker's death after he fell off the gangplank of a ship docked in possibly Liverpool or Blackpool, sometime after 1896? My Irish great-great-grandfather Thomas KELLY is said to have died that way. Thanks. PJ

My great grandfather died after falling down the hold of a ship in the Salthouse dock in Liverpool in the late 1890s. His death was registered on the normal Death index. There was also an inquest and a brief report in the Liverpool Mercury.
