Title: Newspaper Report or Inquest June 1926
Post by: yjv on Thursday 07 February 13 10:24 GMT (UK)

I am looking for a report on the accidental death of Percy V Jacquest aged 4 at Milton Ernest in June 1926. Any help appreciated. I presume Bedford Library has archived copies of local papers? Thanks

There is a list of the Bedfordshire newspapers here:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/BDF/Misc/Newspapers/index.html

It says "See the County Council website for an up-to-date list of Bedford Record Office Holdings of Newspapers."

I searched the index to British Newspapers 1710-1950 on FindMyPast.  There were 4 hits for Jacquest 1925-27, but not Percy.  I don't think they have many beds paper in the index yet

Regards,

Paul
