I am trying to identify this photo which I have inherited.  One possibility is that he could be my grandmother's brother Arthur Wilkins who was born in 1887.  Unfortunately I don't know anything about military uniforms.  I know Arthur was in the Navy.  Does anyone know if this is a naval uniform?
Many thanks.

My ancestor George Corfe died on Sept 13th 1882 at Guys Hospital.  He was 26 years old and a labourer on the London and Brighton Railway.  Cause of death was "ruptured liver by being jammed between a railway truck and platform at Willow Walk".  (I am not sure which part of the body got ruptured as that word on the death cert isn't too clear but I think it says liver.)  I believe Willow Walk was a goods depot near the Bricklayers Arms railway station in Southwark. 

I would like to find out more about the accident.  I have found a few websites with archives of railway accidents but none of them mention this incident.  Possibly they are only for passenger fatalities and I'm assuming this was a work related death.  I also looked at newspaper archives but couldn't find anything.  If anyone could point me in the direction of anywhere else to look I would be very grateful.  Thank you. 

I was visiting a family grave yesterday at a council owned cemetery which is kept well maintained.  However to get into this cemetery you have to walk through an adjoining church graveyard.
The grass in this church graveyard has not been cut in over a year now.  Some of the grass is waist high and there are weeds and brambles all over the place making it impossible to access many of the graves.

The vicar claims that it is now Church of England policy throughout the country to stop maintaining churchyards in order to save money and help protect the environment.  The council say they have offered to maintain the churchyard at a subsidised rate but this proposal was rejected.  As it is not their responsibility and as they are also short of funds there is nothing else they can do.

I was curious as to whether this really is a countrywide policy so I'd be interested to know if anyone else has come across this happening anywhere outside of Lincolnshire.

I wonder if anyone can help me please with a query about the availability of Coroners Inquest Reports?

I have been trying to track down the death of my 2xGGP Eliza Fisher b approx 1833.  I have received a possible death cert for her via a researcher who incorrectly ordered it.  However there is no family information on it to help me judge if this is my Eliza or not.

This Eliza Fisher died on 29th April 1882 at 42 Blackfriars Rd in the registration district St Saviour Surrey, Sub District Christ Church.  Female aged 48 years, occupation unknown, cause of death Natural Sudden Syncope.  Certificate received from William Carter Coroner for Surrey.  Inquest held 3rd May 1882. 

I couldn't see anything in the London Newspaper Archives, and there are no Fishers at that address on the 1881 or 1891 census.  So I thought of trying to find the Inquest Report but I have no idea of how to go about it. 

Thank you very much.
