Francis Fox - death and burial 1907 Codnor
« on: Friday 31 July 15 21:40 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to find details of the death and burial of Francis Fox of Codner, Derbyshire.  He died in June 1907, possibly by hanging, aged abt 66 and I am looking for details of his death (newspaper?) and burial if anyone can assist?

Thanks in advance
