In 1976 my wife's uncle Ronald Hardy died after an accident, hedge cutting around the Sheriff Hutton area. Would anyone know of a local newspapers which covers this period please, and if there is digital access. I am told most likely would be the Gazette & Herald Malton or York Evening Press.. We have the family history, but was wondering if the accident appeared in the local news paper.
Thank you.

Thank you kindly both of you, That is a great help. We were not sure on the birth of Christopher Flynn, and yes it appears his middle name was indeed Bernard. This does place more meat on the bones as to say..

I am told there was mentioned through the family there was a connection to one William Leefe Robinson, a WWI flying Ace..

If you apply for the Birth Certificate of Bertie's Son - Arthur George Margrave December Quarter 1918 West Ham Vol 4a page 116  Mother's Maiden Name = Pratt
I bet you'll find the Occupation of the Baby's Father won't be "Soldier" but rather "Railway Shunter "

There is an Ancestry Tree that has Arthur George Margrave born 9 October 1918 in Army Uniform in WW2

Gosh she will be so pleased with that, I am not on any of the  payment Ancestry websites now as its becoming very expensive, but might well make a trip to the library. Many thanks for your help, pretty sure all has come together with the uniform etc. Kind regards Tony.

Only evidence i have is here say from his granddaughter and very little is known, so will have to ask some more questions.  I  can understand he might well have been exempt, and she just remembers him in a uniform. Thanks.

How could his granddaughter have seen him in uniform in WWI?  Do you mean a photograph?

As i understand, she was very young and was a photograph but not in her possession, which might well have been a railway uniform. Very little details really. Thanks.
