I am seeking help finding a possible newspaper article. My information is yet to be verified and is very sketchy . Mr Francis Exley and his wife from Wakefield were supposedly killed in late 1950’s possibly 1958 in a car crash, location unknown. Their 4 year old son who was with them survived.

Searching for death registrations for Francis Exley, there are no instances between 1951 (Francis J - Wood Green) and 1986 (Thomas Franci - Kettering).

Thanks BumbleB. Yes I couldn’t find any deaths. I tried Frank as well.

Given that from your other thread, it now looks as if the couple lived beyond the late 1950s, have you followed through on their other possible children (2 look to have died by 1950, 2 look to have lived beyond this, with possible marriages in 1966 and 1971)?

I now know the supposed car crash is a total fabrication. However there is more to this than mets the eye. Which relates to my other post on Yorkshire board. It is possibly a case of identity theft and I feel it prudent not to say anymore until I am sure of my facts.
