Manchester Newspapers - 1896 Look up Request - William Lomas
« on: Tuesday 05 August 14 21:53 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to check the newspapers for an entry regarding my ggg grandfather's death.

His death certificate reads:

Died: September 7th 1896 at 18 Poplar Street and Fir Street, Ancoats
Name: William Lomas
Age: 56 Years
Occupation: A Knocker up
Cause of Death: He died suddenly of natural causes
Informant: Certificate received from Sidney Smelt, Coroner for Manchester. Inquest held 16th September 1896


Any information found would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards
Jill

Jill -- just so that you know your query isn't being ignored -- I have checked the Manchester Times on the Libraries site and the Manchester Courier on Find My Past, but nothing comes up for a William Lomas in 1896.

Maybe there are more local publications which other Rootschatters might know about.

Sorry not to be able to help.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

If he just died of natural causes the papers would probably be not interested in reporting it.
