My GG grandfather John Halford is shown as a "servant" on my great grandfather's birth certificate but I just found a record of a police investigation that a "farmer" named John Halford drowned in the Stour River in 1849 and I'm wondering if this is my ancestor or another with the same name. Have written to the Stratford library for more info, but meanwhile was wondering if anybody can suggest where to find a possible newspaper record of the drowning--have looked in the 19th Century newspapers site and the Times with no luck.
Thanks for any help.
