Hi everyone
I had a response from my earlier posting on London and Middlesex giving me a link to a newspaper on line and Yes I managed to find the announcement in the Daily Express stating that he had been killed by a lift weight whilst working on a lift at Lloyds bank in Chelmsford on July 16th 1971 So hot foot back to the papers if I cant trace it on this new site
Thanks everyone
Ronnie

Hi People
I started this thread on London and middlesex as thats where my info led me to believe I needed to be..................However

I am looking for a death for Frederick . He was born in bromley Kent but died in the early 1970s
Family memories seem to think he was killed in a freak accident involving a lift. Whether he was working as an installer or involved in an accident I don't know The people of London traced him and said he died in September 1971 and it was in Chelmsford.  Family memories also say that the accident made the national papers so it must have been something dreadful.  I have tried searching local papers here in Colchester although they had no copies of the Essex Chronicle here
I haven found anything yet . I appreciate rumours in the family are often exagerated but can anyone point me in any other direction   
I Think I need TMO on this one I think he was cremated not buried but where I dont know.

Regards
Ronnie
