Hi

My Grand Mother Lily Maud Hutchinson was killed during the Blitz and there is some discrepancy as to where this happened.

My Father has told me she was working as a cleaner in a pub when a V1 dropped on the corner of Guildford St and Union St Southwark on 19 June 1944 killing both her and her Daughter Patricia Doreen Hutchinson. His recollection is that they were in the cellar and were found under a table, a water main had ruptured and they both drowned.

I have a conflicting report from a Newspaper stating the were both killed in Union St although the two local pubs the King Henry VIII and The Jolley Gardeners were both listed as death sites.

I assume the only way to determine the truth is with a coroners report can anybody tell me how I go about this, or if it is difficult can you suggest a Researcher who could assist.
Many Thanks
Tom

Frank's death on 7 Aug 1934 in Belhaven Private Hospital Geelong was reported as due to an accident.

I have tried to check Trove for any reports with no success, can anybody shed any light on the nature of the accident please.

I am hoping somebody may be able to identify any children of Frederick Grindell Horne and Maria Florence Horne nee Mills married in 1917 Randwick New South Wales, but have been tracked through Electors rolls to Innisfail Qld and Canberra in ACT.

Any assistance would be appreciated

I have Benjamin Kingman arriving in Sydney in 1804 aboard the Coromandel after being sentenced to Life at Horsham Assizes Sussex.  But in 1805 he is pardoned and then he disappears can anybody find why he was pardoned and locate Benjamin after his release please.

I have a copy of a passenger list for the ship "PAPA" sailing from Hamburg, Germany to Cape Town, with three members of the Schultz family on 31 Marz 1878.

Carl Schultz his Wife Mathilde and son Franz, the passenger list shows Franz aged 3 months at the start of the journey.  According to the family Franz died on the voyage, yet I have a copy of The South African Passenger List index 1688-1950 showing Franz presumably entering South Africa on 3 March 1878, obviously a mistake somewhere with the dates.  I can find no record of a death at sea or any further mention of Franz in South Africa is it normal to register a person into South Africa if they died on the voyage or did he arrive a die shortly afterwards.    I cannot find a passenger list for the "Asiatic" on which they left Cape Town to Port Elizabeth arriving June 27 1878. Can anybody help please.
