I thought I had a thread about this but obviously not!
For more years than I can remember I have wanted to find out more about John, he was my grandfathers brother. I know that he was a cripple and that my gt gran used to carry him to school.
Later in life he worked at the colliery, he was a lamp cleaner but couldn't stand do do his work, he had permission to sit whilst cleaning due to his disability.
anyhow I have looked over the years but there were too many to choose from BUT I then had an idea... with the new index it may help [and it did!] I have his death now in 1924.
there was an inquest so there may be something in the newspapers.. but that will have to wait until the weekend [until I can get to the library!]
not unless someone can have a look in some papers for me. :smilee:
