Just to add to Jim's findings.  Rosina was baptised 17/7/1895, Birmingham.  George's birth was registered Q4 1897, Birmingham RD, so, as the incident happened in July 1897 this was the baby she was pregnant with at the time of George's death.
I couldn't see how we could contact this lady to pass on this information.  Any ideas?

Carry on everybody - whatever we can find we can then pass it all on at the end as a collective work by RootsChatters.

How exciting.  :)

What else can be found?

Hi Dawn & Trystan,
I found the contact details for the BBC Birmingham & Black Country page & sent them an email last night asking how we can contact Karen Hancox so I'll let you know what comes back.  It would be a shame not to pass that on as she was obviously wanting to know what happened to his wife & children  :)
