Hi T in Middlesex,

I have a relative in the US he died in 1907 aged about 27 years he was a policeman, and lived in Clarke County, Ohio, his family came from Springfield. I just wondered if his early death and his occupation had anything to do with each other? if you can help I would be grateful.

Hi, and thank you. I am looking for an accident in Bristol @ Filton Aerodrome involving a Mr Maggs who was working on the hangar doors of the Brabazon when he was caught in the hangar doors and was badly injured. Mr Maggs lived in Bristol in Knowle West. The year would have been around 1947. Any information you can find would be great.

Many thanks

Hi Lorraine..

19 Aug 1898 - Alton Evening Telegraph

Minister Murdered

A Chicago Suburb the Scene of a Bloody Crime

Chicago, Aug 19 - Rev Samuel Breakwell, one of the oldest residents of Highwood, was assainated on a street of that village by Carl Pethke, a tailor who for the last four years has lived with the former wife of his victim. Pethke stole up behind Mr Breakwell and plunged a pocket knige into his neck. Then he threw his arms around the minister's neck and stabbed him under the eye. Mr Breakwell sank down on the sidewalk with a groan and within two minutes was dead. Business differences between the two men are said to have a good deal to do with the trouble which culminated in the murder.

Mr Breakwell was a minister of the Welsh Baptist church, and for the last year or more had been in charge of a church in Darten, Wla(?). He was 65 years old.

He was stabbed, not shot.. Sorry thats all it says and it seems to be over a property and his ex wife.

Karen..

Hi T

Would be ever so thankful if you could search for the name CHIOCCHI in Liverpool, New York and Canada as I am trying to ascertain where in Italy this line originated and I thought an obit in a paper may do it.
Also the name HUTT / HUTTS in Liverpool.

Fonds regards

Hi,

Would the archive cover marriage write ups? If so, if there was a write up for George William Wilson Dickens(Capt.) to Helen Ordway Spencer Wells (Lady) which took place at Holy trinity Church, Clapham on the 23rd Aug 1919 , I would dearly love to see it. Many thanks whatever the outcome.

Regards
