George Corfe - Railway Accident 1882

[Stanwix England]

South London Chronicle - Saturday 23 September 1882

This one is similar, but specifies that he was a porter and that the other man who gave evidence was also a porter.

Also it says "Mr R A Milligan, house surgeon, said the deceased died almost directly after being brought into the surgery. The injuries were very severe externally, and death resulted from ruptured liver.

My g-g-grandfather died as the result of a similar work accident on New Street station in Birmingham in 1889 - he was pulled onto the platform and given brandy and taken to hospital where he survived the night but died the next day of crush injuries - and I was lucky to find that papers from the Inquest had survived and were in the records office, which at the time many years ago when I was researching this, was on the top floor of the old library building if I remember correctly.

The document has the signatures of the twelve men of the jury.

It would be worth checking with the records office that covers the relevant area if any papers survive from the Inquest into George's death.
