You can check the CWGC website. On the search page, choose 'cemeteries' and then type the name of the borough/county/town where bombs fell.
You will then see in the list the list of civilians killed in the area. With their death place, but not the cause of their death. But then you can investigate.
A quick search revealed that an ARP man died in Ryde on 19/8/42 and two Air Warden in Gosport on the 20th. Wether they were killed by bombs, and during this night or the 18/19 or 20/21 has to be confirmed by more precise local records.
Hope it helps
