Death at Sea 1929 – any more info?
« on: Sunday 14 April 24 19:26 BST (UK) »
The ‘death at sea’ index (BT 334) on FindMyPast lists a death in December 1931 for a J O’Toole, although the image shows it was actually December 1929.  The entry is then suffixed with the letter E, as are many others.   Other than this there is no further information, not even a ships name. 

Can anyone advise how I might find out more?

AT FindMyPast two suggestions come up for a J. O'Toole;  the BT 334 you mentioned, but also the GRO Marine Death index (DMR3) for a John O'Toole, age 33, on the ship Blairatholl, in 1929. Could that be your fellow?

Well that just goes to show what an extra pair of eyes can do!  Yes, I'm sure that must be the right person.

I'd looked and looked for further information but I think I must have been typing in my 'hoped for' forename, which wasn't John!
