Hi Sandra,

You could try charity shops or second-hand book dealers; just have a "google".   Try the ones that specialise in books about Cheshire.

Good luck,

Hi Sandra
Have you seen this site http://www.cheshiremagazine.com/Archives/hank.html

It has a piece about the murder.

If you go on to http://www.cc-publishing.co.uk they might be able to help.

Also just Google the murder of George Morrey and quite a few sites come up that might be helpful.

Kind regards

Sandra,

The majority of second-hand book dealers now operate via the internet. 

Perhaps the family history society of Cheshire  www.fhsc.org.uk  will have a spare copy or will advertise your request in their journal.

If you Google just Edith Morrey then click on the site
The Edinburgh annual register-google books result 1814
they give a full account of the murder and John Lomas and Edith Morrey's account of what happened.  Very grusome reading I must say.

There are also many sites involving Edith Morrey worth looking at.

Kind regards
