i have the copy of the court inquiry into the death of Sarah Elizabeth Hill, they thought there might have been foul play, BUT she was drunk and fell off the sofa and broke her neck, this was my great-grandmother. i will try and dig out some info for you, i have not done any research for about 1 year, so i am a little rusty now, regards.
you didn't say what your link was and where you come from ??

I too have a photograph taken at W Sumner, 48 Bridge street, Worksop, of my grandfather,HARRY WESTLEY b. 1889 in East Retford.  and i think this is taken 1903 + time, i would like to contact the photographers as the assumption was this was taken in 1911, but i doubt it. so i too would like the contact for this photographer, thank you, melonhead

The Common Room / Sarah Elizabeth Cowley ( nee Hill )
« on: Monday 19 October 09 17:40 BST (UK)  »
can anyone tell me what date SARAH ELIZABETH COWLEY( nee  HILL ) was born please, it was London 1861, she married James Cowley in East Retford 1889 march quarter 7b 24, i am trying to order her birth certificate and they need the whole date , i have September 1861.
 on a 1871 census i have her father as William Snowden( 39 ), mother Lucy Snowden ( 31 ) ,  Sarah Ann HILL ( 11 )sister Ann Snowden ( 11 )  and brother Tom Snowden ( 2 )  this is showing Ann at 11 years old and Sarah Elizabeth at 11 years old. any suggestions about this, the ages being the same and Sarah being the only HILL, i was given to understand that Sarah,s name was snowden, but RICKY 1 found that she was really Sarah Hill, and he also suggested that i get my grandmothers birth cert to check what her mothers maiden name had been , which i received this morning.... so WELL DONE RICKY1, you came up trumps....again...... from melonhead :o
