Lanarkshire / John Morgans (Seaman)- Died after falling into River Clyde 20/5/1901
« on: Sunday 07 May 17 07:38 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out if there would have been a Scottish Death Cert or Burial Record or an Inquest (Marine or Civil).
He was recorded on the "Died at Sea" Register. But according to Newspaper Report he was pulled out of the water and died the next day.

"THE INVERAMSAY,
After a passage of 109 days the barque Inveramsay arrived last evening from Glasgow
with a large general cargo. She is to the agency of Messrs. Mason Brothers Ltd.
From here the vessel proceeds to Newcastle with part cargo.
As the result of accidents during the voyage two seamen were lost. John Morgans, cook
and steward, fell overboard as the barque was leaving Glasgow, and although pluckily
rescued by Captain Crombie, finally succumbed on May 20."
