If I understand you correctly, you are saying that there are only two possible matches if you limit the search to A. the districts of West Derby & Toxteth and B. the years 1922 - 1935. I was also searching from 1922 - 1932 but I had thought that I couldn't assume the district where the death (caused by an accident at work) was registered would necessarily be the one local to his home. I was looking in the whole Liverpool area. That's why I had a lot more results from my search. I guess the W. Derby ones you've found are a good place to start though - thanks again. I appreciate it.

Hi RR,
At that time there were 3 registration districts in the city and close environs of Liverpool.
Toxteth Park up to September 1922; Liverpool up to September 1934; and West Derby up to September 1934.
If he lived in Liverpool and died in Liverpool his death would almost certainly have to be recorded in one of those districts.
