Please help. I am a serving Detective Constable in West Mercia Constabulary and I have a difficult and sensitive case that I am working on and I need to obtain some historic information. I have been given the authority to be creative in the use of the internet and I am appealing to anyone out there to assist me.
I am trying to establish whether a young girl was killed in an old woodyard in Bromsgrove approximately 50years ago. The girl would have been around 5 to 10 years old and her name may have been AMY. This girl may have been killed in an accident where she was driven over by a lorry. A surname of KENDALL (not sure of the spelling of the surname so any possible ) has been mentioned.
The woodyard was known as Hancox's woodyard and the HANCOX family lived there. This address has been confirmed as 107 Broad Street, Bromsgrove.
I have obviously searched through the sources available to me as a police officer. The coroner cannot find any trace of it. They searched their records from 1956 Jan to 1961 Dec but to no avail.
I have a live line of enquiry going at the moment with the registrar of births & deaths.
I am not entirely convinced that it actually occurred but I have asked the registrar to search from 1950 onwards.
I respectfully request any help and assistance from any of you who may be able to assit with publicly available information. I am by no means an expert in historical research and I would value any contribution you may offer.
