Looking for information about Henry B Crawford who was knocked and killed in a road traffic accident. I have his death certificate which says that he knocked down by a motor car whilst crossing the Wakefield road at Fitzwilliam, verdict, Misadventure. He died on 27 May 1960 at The General Infirmary, Pontefract. An inquest was held 1st June 1960 by Mr Gill, Coroner for the West Riding.
Would this accident have been reported in the local press and if so, which newspaper? A family rumour says that the driver of the car was a son of the mayor!
