No I haven’t - where can I access the 1939 register?
Thanks

Thanks for your email William.  Amazing to think that generations later both families are still 'talking'.  I would love to have scans of any articles/documents you have related to this case.  My side of the family had no knowledge of the incident until I received a copy of Phillips death certificate which described the cause of his death,

Regards

MANY MANY thanks for your help Vivien.  I have emailed directly to your Hotmail address.

Hello

I am researching my Markham family history and would like to know about a pub called The Kings Head in Caistor (see newspaper article below).  A relative of mine, Philip Markham, was killed in a fight in this establishmnet in January 1855.  Is the pub still standing?  Does anyone have any historical details on the pub?  In particular looking for a feel for what sort fo place it would have been in 1855 and any photos.

Many thanks
Darren
