Missing, presumed dead. (Inquests)

I have for some time been trying to locate burial records for my GGreat Grandfather which presumably occurred sometime between the 1861 and 1871 Census returns. I have chosen this period because he was included the 1861 Census for Lydney but at the time of the 1871 Census his wife was recorded as a widow. I have been unable to find any records of his burial and I am requesting if there are any records of people missing and declared dead. I know from my searches that there have been many people found dead in the River Severn and are buried as name unknown.So any advice would be appreciated.
