Newspaper.
« on: Saturday 29 March 25 13:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi.
 I wonder if I can ask if any that has Newspapers.com to look something up  please?
I have just had a new hint on Ancestry ,....Ronald Stentiford 28th June 1940   in Swansea.
It says accident ... That's my dads name and I think he was away in the Navy at that time.

But it sounds interesting.

Thank you.

Not clear what record set you are referring to re. Arthur Cousins but this report is from Welshnewspapers on line - dated 21st Nov 1896. It's in Welsh and relates to the death of 2 young children, address 60, Brick Lane, London.
https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3759874/3759877/21/arthur%2BOR%2Bcousins

The firemen were quickly on the spot but too late to save the children. One fireman was trapped between a horse and the fire engine and required hospital treatment.
