I am trying to locate where my Grandfathers death would have been registered? He worked as a steamship engineer and so could have possibly been at Sea when he died. His wife and children lived in Handsworth, Birmingham, England. I have managed to pin his date of death down to being somewhere between 1923 and 1928. I would like to know where his death would require to be registered being if he was at Sea when he died. Would it be Handsworth where he and wife and children lived or would it be at the registrar office closest to wherever he was when he died, even if in let's say America at the time? Would love to be able to be able to get held of a copy of his death cert and find where his grave was. Any help on where to direct my efforts to be able to find where his death was registered and thus be able to get a copy of his death cert would be greatly appreciated.
