Title: Copy of 1845 Western Times article?
Post by: seriously-richardrichards on Thursday 27 July 17 03:11 BST (UK)

Does anyone have a copy of page 3 from the Western Times, 12 July 1845? There's a reference to a Richard Richards and I'm hoping it can provide insight about his death.

There's also an inquest report in the Exeter Flying Post of 10 July 1845. He was a traveller lodging overnight in the house of a Mr Waldron. He was taken ill during the night. Three local doctors all refused to attend and he died, of "water in the chest". Evidence suggested that his life could have been saved had he received prompt medical attention.

Sadly I do not have access right now, but one of the joys of paying for Findmypast is the chance to  search a huge newspaper resource.
