Title: Newspaper report 1908 (Poole)
Post by: Janice Pedder on Sunday 31 July 05 06:14 BST (UK)

I'm hoping somebody can find me details of an accidental death that happened in January 1908. The victim was Stanley Walter Crew age 16 from Upper Parkstone. He died 6 Jan and the inquest was held 11 Jan 1908. I've tried Dorset Record Office but they haven't got the relevant newspaper.

You could try Waterfront Museum for family history depature - ask for Pat or David. I am sure they have microfilm of newspaper and also theres newspaper index for surname. The Waterfront Museum sited at Poole Quay. The telephone number is 01202 262600 Tuesday to Friday 10 - 3. Good luck!
