Hi T, this is a long shot, but my gt uncle William D E Walker died in 1956 in Morocco. My nan (his sister) had to go and collect the body and belongings. Apparently because it was assumed that he was murdered, it did make the newspapers, and given that they all lived in London, I'm hoping it might have been the times. Regards Linda :)

I'd be grateful for a look up on Frederick Cornelius Stoop, who, with his wife, donated a dormitory (ward?) in June 1907 for his silver wedding anniversary (1st June). He lived in Kensington at least in his early life but the commemorative plaque ended up in Redditch, Worcestershire. Keen to know the connection..
I've been told that his doings were reported in the Times.
Thanks

hoping..

I'm afraid I cant find him in there.

Sorry,

T

Hi T,

Please would you see if you can find anything about the death of Arthur Francis Cuff in March 1947.

I am desperate to find out about his burial.

Hope you are well.

Many Thanks

Hi Fi - ltns :)

Sorry, nothing for Arthur CUFF in 1947.

Sorry again,

Hello T

I wonder if there is anything in the Times about the floods in Norwich and the drowning of Robert Rudderham/Rudrum. His DC says he died 19 Nov 1878 accidentially drowned.

A different one - anything about an explosion and fire in Gateshead and Newcastle circa 13 October 1854. I don't suppose it mentions Jacob Watson being seriously hurt

Many many thanks
Jo

Hi Jo..

Nothing for Robert Rudrum/Rudderham.

As for Watson..

The Times Monday Oct 9 1854 Page 5 Issue 21867 Column C

The Great Fires in Newcastle and Gateshead

It's too long for me to transcribe but it does mention this

Jacob Watson, compound fracture of skull.

There are several news about the fire but no other mention of Jacob.

If you like, I can save the newspaper clipping (that mentioned Jacob) and have it sent over to you, if so can you PM me with your email address please?

T

Hello, Would you look for any info on a James Baverstock/Beverstock for me? He was an excise officer/waterguard in 1800-24 & spent at least a lot of that time in Greenwich. His dob 1776 Thank you

Thanks for looking for me. His burial is a mystery.

Hi T, thanks for looking anyway, have a lovely easter, regards Linda:)

Hello T

I wonder if you can help me again. I am looking for a death in the obits of Frances Mary West. She died Oct/Nov/Dec 1969. If thats too much trouble, don't bother, as I realise that is 3 months. Then she might not be there. I really need her death cert.
She should be in Eastbourne, Sussex.

Many thanks
Jo

Hi T

Sorry I have got the quarters wrong, its April, May. June of 1969 and definitelly Eastbourne.

Many thanks
Jo

Hi T,
If possible without an exact date of death, please would you see if there is an obituary for Henry Lake Wells who died in Karachi in 1898. He was high up in the Royal Engineers.
Thank you,
Janice
