Please can some one help me.

Thanks Ange

Hi Ange

Freebmd has a James Hall, 51, death registered Jan-Mar 1909 in the Guisborough registration district, which included Redcar.  Could this be your man?

Good luck

Gobbo

Thanks but no I've checked the BMD'S the accident was meant to of happened the 12 May 1909 but I just can't find any record. Mind you the information may be wrong.

But thank you very much for your help.

Ange.

Something like that may have been in the Evening Gazette (I think it was around in 1909  :-\) Middlesbrough reference library has them and Middlesbrough Archives have shipping registers.

Thank you never even thought of that. Just couldn't see the wood for the trees.
