I thought there was a sub board for this but can`t find it.
Can anyone look at Chester Observer 16 Jan 1926 and same paper 14 August 1926
I am interested in the deaths of Stanley Hurst in January and his widow Harriet Hurst in August.
Thanks.

I came across Stanley Hurst as a photographer in Wrexham, there are many reports in the Wrexham Advertiser,
There are some of his photos on Ebay.
I just couldn`t find who he was, the births of the Hurst girls puzzled me, what had happened to their father Mr Smith. After a bit more picking around I finally cracked it.
For anyone wondering where William James Smith disappeared to - here he is . ;D
