I am looking for the death of Walter Blandford Wadham b 1869 Poole-he was an AB seaman on board Light vessel Galloper in 1891 census -I think he is mistranscribed in 1901 as Walter Blandford Washam? I believe he was drowned but when? I would like to search the GRO marine deaths but can't find any covering these dates [1901 onwards] can anyone point me in the right direction-have tried" findmy past "but the records only seem to go to 1890 any help appreciated Heather

Hi Heather,

If you go into birth/marriage/death on findmypast, you'll see British overseas deaths. The GRO Marine deaths from 1901 onwards are listed there.
