Shouldn't laugh
« on: Tuesday 01 October 13 09:20 BST (UK) »
I have in my tree an ancestor who died whilst working in the goldfields at Muckleford Victoria in 1855.
The inquisition says;
'That the deceased came by her death from injuries received by falling into a hole at Muckleford on the 26th June while in a state of drunkenness'
The 'hole' was a gold digging pit' ;D

A hotel in Stonehaven has apparently been advertising for a "Sioux Chef".
