Title: Newspaper Search
Post by: Chippy27 on Monday 10 June 24 22:07 BST (UK)

Hi I'm looking an article in local newspapers about my grandad. Born 1903 Frederick Kavanagh lived Edge Hill Liverpool. Lost his arm when he was a child. A cart or carriage went over it after jumping on the back a the vehicle. There maybe nothing but thought I'd see if someone would be kind enough to check aswell.

Contact the county archives and ask them to search local newspapers;  not all are available on the internet yet.

Might be worth giving parents names too as the child may not have been named

Thanks everyone I will keep looking. I just assuming it was in papers but I'd be shocked it wasn't.
