3 Killed in Fire - Looking for info please
« on: Thursday 05 January 06 15:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I am hoping that some kind person out there can help me with this.

I am trying to find out the circumstances etc of how three members of my family where killed in a fire at "13 Warren Street, Thornton in Fylde".

There names are ....

Thomas Bamber (5)
John Bamber (2)
Jannet Bamber (1)

I have tried the local press etc, but have received nothing that would give me any clues as to what happened etc.  Some of the local papers have checked there records but have found nothing which I find hard to believe, as a fire with three child deaths,as now, would be news material

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Many Thanks

in advance

Family Guy  :)

Where did you get the information from that the deaths were due to a fire and was this at Warren St Fleetwood.

Do you have their death certs. or a coroners report?

Can you narrow the date down at all?
