Alveley Suicide- Bridgnorth library help please
« on: Wednesday 02 May 07 09:07 BST (UK) »
Just a quick note wondering if anyone can help me ?
Is anyone going to Bridgnorth Library during the next week or so, and if so could possibly do a look-up for me through the Old Bridgnorth Journals ?
I am looking for the details of a suicide in Alveley of a Mr William Henry Steeton.
Details I believe were published in the newspaper on 6th and 13th October 1888.
 I am interested in names and addresses of witnesses etc etc.

Strange co-incidences - (well, very  spooky actually  ;) When I was a child, a old lady (who's family had lived in the Village for decades ) said to me one day, "someone killed himself in your house !"  These words have bugged me for years !
Did this suicide occur in our back garden ???? :o :o

Any help much appreciated
