Missing death records in Liverpool

[IreneJ]

I'm researching my family history and can access Ancestry, Findmypast, FamilySearch and Lancashire Parish Online.   I've noticed that there are many missing death records on Lancashire BMD website for the Liverpool area.  Does anyone know why and is there anywhere else I can look apart from the sites I have listed?

Have you tried freebmd  http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

also a site with information being submitted by volunteers

and freereg (volunteers do this too)

Free BMD is another free site:-

If you have access to the death indexes on Ancestry or FindMyPast then that's all you really need. UK Gov online probate search/indexes can be useful particularly for recent deaths:-

Thanks very much for these quick replies. I was dreading someone telling me all the records had been destroyed in the Liverpool bombings! I'll carry on searching for the elusive family members

  Are you able to give us an idea  of the  addresses or dates  you are searching for, please?       

Or  have you looked at probate registers,  which may help you.

I've been searching for John Poole, able seaman (Merchant Service) born in Birkenhead in 1881 and I've not been able to find him past the 1901 census where he was living with his mother Mary Poole in Methuen Street Birkenhead. His 2 brothers lived in Birkenhead and Liverpool so I have been searching in both places.

Birkenhead  will probably  be part of Cheshire.
