Harland & Wolf Belfast crane accident
« on: Wednesday 01 June 11 11:46 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone knows how I can find out more about a relative who died in a crane accident I was told at Harland and Wolf Belfast. I am living in England so unable to visit PRONI.

His name is William Graham born 1898 at Belfast. I was told that he died shortly after being demobbed from WW1. There is a William Graham who died 1919, age 21, but I don’t know if it is him.

Thanks

Thanks for people taking the time to read my post, An update, PRONI kindly looked into it and have found the information for me and it is the William Graham I described, the shipyard was actually Messers Workman Clark’s Yard.
