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.

Many thanks for your suggestion.  I will definately do this.

I managed to get Philip's birth, marriage and death certificate and have just sent off for his two son's birth certs.  Would love to find out some more through press clippings, certainly.

Merry Christmas!
