Places to find further info regard 'suspicious death' of Jemima Tomany
« on: Wednesday 22 May 13 13:14 BST (UK) »
HI,

My maternal grandmother, Jemima Tomany Nee Davidson (Glasgow) died 09 Jul 1939 at 20 Kell Lane Withington.
(Inquest Notes name of deceased; JEMIMA TOMANY date of death; 9TH JULY 1939 date of inquest; 19TH JULY 1939 where and when inquest held; MANCHESTER officer in charge of case; J RYCROFT age of deceased; 34 YEARS address of deceased; 20 KELL LANE WITHINGTON place of death; 20 KELL LANE WITHINGTON)


On July 22nd, 1939 'The Manchester City News' (“The News”) reported the following:-
CASE “BRISTLING WITH SUSPICION”:
Coroner and Death of a Mother of Nine.

Our family has been told that the inquest is no longer available.

Can anyone tell me how I might be able to view this newspaper so as to be able to look up subsequent articles regarding this 'suspicious death'?
Also - I would like any clues as to how I might be able to find out more.

For instance - does anyone know if it is worth asking the Police; might they have records of cases etc.

Her children were deposited into Hollymount Orphanage in Fleetwood - and my grandfather was never heard of again (this is a separate matter that I might start another thread for).

Thanks

AS much as I would like to visit the Manchester Room - it is highly unlikely!

Wish I still had a cousin or relative there ;-)

Does anyone know if it is easy to get someone to do a lookup or something?

Thanks everyone.

Hi

That's why I put the information on here, hoping that someone would offer to do a look up.

You could try asking Sunshine8 if she has got the time.

Yes - have her death cert.
What our family is trying to find out is what happened as a consequence of the Police Inquiry/case etc
and if the consequences are related to the subsequent disappearance of my grand-father.

Will start a new topic regarding finding him.

What might I need to offer Sunshine as a trade?

Thanks
