I have been mystified for some time regarding one of my ancestors. He seems to disappear from the records following his wedding to my g grandmaother, however I was recently told that he died in an accident. His name was Henry King, he was born in London c1863 and married my ggrandmother Elizabeth Simpson 12/11/1893 in Bethnal Green. They have a son John King born Liverpool 1899, she appears on the 1901 census in Harlow Street along with her son but without Henry.
I was advised recently that he died after falling down an open manhole on the Liverpool docks. Given the age of his son, this must have happened some time between 1898 and 1901.
Has anybody any idea if there may be a record of this incident??
