I have tried this query before with no luck,ever the optimist I thought I would give it one more try.
I am searching for the death date of my great grandmother Sarah Ann Denton,she was born in Bedford in 1863,her single name was Sarah Dorrington,she died as the result of an accident with a runaway horse and cart in the early 1900s,she was alive on the 1901 census,apparently one of her sons Rowland Denton was injured in the same accident,he is reputed to have died as a young man because of the injuries he recieved at the time,as he was 15 years old on the 1901 census,I am guessing that the accident and my ggrandmothers death happened between 1901+1916,I have tried free Bmd and have had no luck,I am wondering if there is anyone with the death index for Bedford who would be kind enough to do a look up for me,I would be really grateful,Thank you for your interest ,Bethan

Dear John,Thank you so much for your help,you are a gem.
I believe that you have found the correct people,I have been searching for them for two years,I will now be able to look for my ggrandmothers accident report in the newspapers,I know that there was one printed,as my mother can recall reading it as a child.
Thank you again,Best wishes,Bethan

Hi Bethan
Do you want me to have a look in the library for you? I live only a few miles from Bedford and have to go into the library in about a week to take some books back and I'd be happy to try and find what you're looking for. Perhaps it would save you waiting a year.

Donna,That would be really kind of you,as long as it does not put you to any trouble.
I have been told that it was my ggrandfather who was driving the horse+cart,his occupation was a groom,and also that there was alcohol involved,his name was Hugh Denton.
Also family legend has it that my ggrandmother was killed in the accident+her son Rowland was crippled and died as a young man because of the injuries he recieved,if you look at the dates that John kindly sent me you will see that the facts appear to be different,as my ggrandmother seems to have outlived Rowland by a number of years!
If you could check the Bedford Times for the last week of April+and the first week of June 1919 I would be really grateful,Thank you so much for your interest,Regards Bethan

Hi Bethan
No trouble at all to have a look for you. Is there anything else you want checking whilst I'm at it? As well as the newspaper archives the library also has all the census years for Bedfordshire, plus transcribed parish records for most areas covering a fair span of years up to about 1812.
