Ali ..................


I'm so glad that the Museum Archive department managed to find the clippings for you, and that you now know what happened.



Oldham Local Archives came up trumps for me about 4 years ago when I was trying to find out how my gt grandfather had died in 1877 ............ they found a 2-column report in a little-known very short-lived newspaper when the major paper (still in existence today) had not carried any report :-)


Gt grandfather leaned on the door of the train carriage ............. only to fall out on to the track

The coroner found that there had been negligence on someone's part as the door had not been secured properly from the outside ................ and suggested that the family would have a case if they wished to sue. :-0


I gather the family did not proceed any further ............. presumably because of lack of money.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
