Death by drowning 1920-1935

[Sandra Parker]

I'm looking for any reference to the death and funeral of a Billy Oxley in Rotherhithe area sometime between 1920 and 1935. My mother commented that 'he drowned playing on the steps at high tide' .
 I guess his name could have been William Oxley.
I'm looking for the date, rather than any specific records, though an newspaper report would be most helpful, as it is the event rather than the specific person I am trying to find out about.
thanks
Sandra
