Hi there
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am looking for newspaper articles, or any information on suicides of possibly three Websters who farmed at Wayworth Farm in Commondale, Yorks.
The family think that 2 or maybe 3 of the Websters committed suicide, and have found three deaths on the index as follows. All registered in Guisbrough.
Joseph (67) 1915 Q4
Thomas (74) 1919 Q4
George (63) 1919 Q4
Can anyone give me any information as to which newspaper this would be reported in, and where I could look at the archives. Alternatively, does anyone have any knowledge of these suicides. It is interesting that they all seem to have died in the winter months. Two of them in the same year.
I hope you can help. Thank you.
Janice

Hi Briant
It is purely because one of my relations is doing his family tree, and these brothers are part of his family.
He lives in Staffordshire, and I live in Whitley Bay which is a bit closer to Commondale.
I said, if I could find where the newspaper records are held, I would go down and look at them for him.
regards
Janice

Dear Briant
Thank you for sending this information.
I have sent emails to both of these newspapers and will await their replies.
I hope that your friend also has some information for me.
Thanks again
