Glamorganshire / Re: coroners inquest 1938
« on: Wednesday 15 August 12 11:42 BST (UK) »
I too have spent ages trying to find a Coroners report or newspaer report on th death and funeral of Edward Nancarrow who died 17th Dec 1895 at 43 Mt Pleasant Street ,Dowlais.
He was a fireman,18 years old,crushed between two buffers at Caeharris Yard,Dowlais.
The Coroner for G lamorganshire was George Overton(?) he inquest was held on the 10th? 20th Dec? 1895.
Il ooked at the newspapers held in the Merthyr Recrd Office and could find nothing.Surely this kind of horrible accident would have been widely reported.
Can annoe help ?G ive me any leads?

Berkshire / 26 Craufurd Rise Maidenhead 1941
« on: Tuesday 17 July 12 12:57 BST (UK) »
I have found this address among some old family papers.
Does anyone know if it was a mother and baby home in 1941?
If so where would I be able to search for records and/or information ?

Probably your best bet would be to take a look at the Clyro Parish Registers.
If you can`t get to the Record Office a researcher would do the look up for you.You can write and query the cost first.
Good luck!
