Cheshire / Coroners report 1949
« on: Wednesday 02 October 13 19:45 BST (UK) »
Hi My Father was killed in an accident whilst installing a refrigeration plant in a dairy in Chapel Lane, Chester.
His name was Maxwell Richard Franklin and he died 28 June 1949. The inquest was 15 July 1949 City of Chester coroner David Hughes recorded a verdict of accidental death. I have contacted Cheshire Archives and I am awaiting a reply but I was wondering if there would be any newspaper reports and where would I find them also what newspapers were around at the time.
Warmest regards
Dave

Can you give us a bit more information on your Mom and the Murphy's to see if we can find e a connection, did your Mom go to an orphanage, did she have any brothers and sister if so what happened to them

I haven't started researching the Murphys yet but my GF James William Murphy b. 1893 d. 1972 Gm Sarah J S (I don't know maiden name) My Mum had 1 brother Robert Cairns Galloway b. 1909 d. (He died young but I'm unable to find out where or when) She also had 2 sisters Margaret E Galloway b. 1910 d. 1915 & Catherine Galloway b. 1913 d. 2010 that's about all I have at the moment. Many thanks for your interest Dave

Northumberland / Adoptions before 1926
« on: Saturday 01 December 12 13:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
What was the usual way in which adoptions took place prior to it being legalised in 1926 the reason I asked is because my Mum was orphaned in 1919 in Willington Quay and was adopted/or taken in by the Murphy family in Welfield but as far as I can see there was no previous connection between the families. I was wondering if there are any avenues I could research to find out how this took place.

Northumberland / Foster Lowery Galloway
« on: Sunday 28 February 10 17:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi my GF Elijah Galloway b.1885 d. 1916 was one of 12 children who lived in Willington Quay.
Some of his brothers had middle names of Foster Lowery.
Whilst I know the Foster part comes from my GGM Elizabeth Jane Foster b. 1847 I am unable to link the name Lowery I don't think the name comes from the Galloway side of the family. Can anyone help
