Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Southampton Mystery - Need Urgent Help!
« on: Monday 13 December 10 13:20 GMT (UK)  »
If your ancestor was killed in an accident in Southampton, there is a site on the Southampton Library site which allows you to ask for help in accessing Evening Echo reports.  If you go on the Southampton Library site you will see a button named ASK.  You can give all the details you can about the incident and the staff will find out what they can and also they will scan the newspaper article.  I have found the service invaluable in the past.

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Can anyone in Southampton help??

My husbands grandfather took his own life in Southampton in 1947.  The death certificate states that there was an inquest, but after having contacted the coroners office in Southampton I was told that they did not have records back that far.  My request is, would there be anyone in the Southampton area who could check the archives of what would have been the Evening Echo at that time to see if there is any report of the death / inquest mentioned.  The date of death was 13.08.47, inquest 15.08.47.  His name was William George Allen.

Many thanks for any information.
