Title: Folkestone newspaper lookup please
Post by: Julia S on Tuesday 18 April 06 06:05 BST (UK)

Reginald and Hilda CRASKE both died in Folkestone on the same day - 3 May 1948, aged in their fifties. I assume it was some sort of accident.

Did the local newspaper report their deaths?
If so, what was the cause of death?
If it reported their funeral, I would be very interested in the names of any of Reginald's relatives who attended.
Also, any other interesting details, eg occupation.

Thank you
Julia

Hi Julia

Is that date correct only I can't see them in the GRO death indexes ???

There is a Reginald H CRASKE age 52 died Folkestone area in the March quarter of 1948 but no Hilda ???

Hi Julia

You may already have this but GenesReunited have a couple of researchers with Craske born Folkestone in their trees.
