River Severn drowning (General)

Hello

I am looking for information on a possible drowning, sometime between the 1901 census and the 1911 Census

William Watkins (born 1880), son of William Watkins & Eliza Dorrington of Woolaston, Glos is listed on the 1901 Census at Norman's Head, Woolaston

There is no sign of him on the 1911 Census and family information handed down cites a drowning of a son of William Watkins Snr

I cannot find any burial details for him, nor can I find a suitable BMD death record in this area

If anyone has access to newspaper records for this area at this time or can throw some light on this it would be appreciated
