Murder of Child - Belinda Liversidge - in Rawmarsh - 1914
« on: Wednesday 30 May 12 20:16 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help throw light on the possible murder of a baby Belinda Liversidge by her mother Emily (Annie) Liversidge (nee Astbury) in 1914 (July - Sept). I believe that she also tried to murder  her other   children.  The family were living in Rawmarsh at the time. I understand that the incident was reported in the Rothherham Advertiser.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Jenf ???

Hi,

I believe that the murder was covered in this book:-

Hi Jenf
            Just reading this weeks local paper ( rotherham advertizer ) and see there is a double page spread  regarding the murders of these 3 children apparently it is the 100 anniversary , don't know if you are interested small photo of the house and one of the funeral with all the locals lining the streets , i know you probably know all the story but when i read it i remembered your posting on rootschat and thought it worth a mention .

                                      regards
                                                  gah
