Hi to All, Here we are again, sorry for the very long absence, but we now have a conclusion. have now got a copy of the death cert. It seems that Isabella was attacked and had her belongings stolen, (family records ). She was taken to Kings College Hospital, Lambeth. T he death cert states  that she died of Broncial Pneumonia, Acute Cerebral Contusion asssociated with Fractured Skull associated with......( cant read the next bit, not a very good copy!) The coroner is a Henry Wigate of the Coroners Court  London, inquest dated 28th Jan 1952.
          Sorry again for the delay, at least it can now be put to rest..Thanks once again .  John

Hi to all, Just came online to see if I had a reply!!  I was amazed, my havent you all been busy...I really must thank you all again, I will now be sending for the death cert.  Reading all your comments, its like having a novel all of your own. I am now waiting for my relation to come back off her hols. Im pretty sure that you have uncovered some facts that she doesnt know about. I dont think we will ever find out if she was really murdered, as you say we can have our own family legend, many thanks once again,  it will all make a great talking point down at the local...

Hi Pauline thanks for your quick reply, my recently found relative who supplied the info, said that she was told that Bella was murdered in the B/wall tunnel, I have no reason to disbelieve her, any way she should show up in the records. I dont know if she remarried, I cant ask my relation , she is on holiday @ the moment....

I know that the family lived no 8 Liardett St Deptford, when they moved down from Bilston, prior to 1901..after 1911 I think that it is going to be fairly hard to trace as I dont have her married name & the BMD isnt bringing anything up.....If I only knew the year of her death!!....

Hi again Anna, Where would Greenwich Rd be? I have,nt been on the 1911 census yet, but in 1911 she would have been 24 years old.  I am still waiting for my relation to come back with some more info.  I would imagine that the murder would have made national news at that time..  I have tried to get into the Blackwall archives but no success.....John
