Albert George Johnson lookup request please

[Lisa Skeels]

I wonder if someone with access to newspaper archives could see if there is any reference in old Norfolk newspapers to Albert George Johnson.  Albert was born in North Pickenham in 1901 and his death was registered in Swaffham in March 1930. 

There is little information, just a few snippets of conversations, due to the nature of his death but, it would appear that he hanged himself (some have said from a street lamp) following an accident in which a lady was killed.  There has been some mention of a motorbike.  One of his nieces apparently remembers finding a newspaper article that her parents had kept but until that time knew nothing of Albert.  He was, apparently, buried in an unmarked grave.  I am considering contacting the records office to see if they can help with this part of the query.

I would imagine that if someone was killed it would have been reported somewhere but I am finding it hard to find any further information.

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this request.

What was the cause of death shown on his death certificate?

Hi Carole
I don't know the cause of death.  I know the given reason could affect where he was buried.
I would be really interested, at this stage, in discovering if anyone can track down any newspaper reports.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
