Holiday death look up please
« on: Wednesday 22 March 06 23:35 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for information on my relative, Vernon Moores who died on his honymoon in the Isle of man in may 1932, he married Gladys here in manchester on the 30th April 1932 and then went on their honymoon.
perhaps it would have been in the local newspapers, I would be grateful for any information.

Hi

Just a thought, have you emailed/written to the newspapers on the IOM and, also, the coroners office?

hi again george
   can you let me know what you are trying to find out , as you know when he died over here, are you only wanting to know if there was a article in any of the news papers at that time  as i live on island maybe i can go to the douglas liberary  and seek out the paper for that month and year for you , they keep copies of newspapers   the manx museum has them on film as well,
 or if you want to ask them  then its the douglas liberary  victoria st douglas isle of man or manx museum

HI River
thanks for the offer to look at the newspapers for me, I would be gratefull for any information you can find for me,
Vernon moores married Gladys Laithwaite on the 30th april 1932
in manchester and we guess went on honymoon to the isle of man within a few days of getting married, the family story is he had a heart attack over there, no more is known, I cannot find his death in the records here, looking forward to hearing from you

HI

I know it's not what you were looking for but  I tried a search in The Times just incase it made news on the mainland ( so to speak)

There wasn't a mention but on putting in Vernon Moores as my search words it did birng up a marriage entry.

I dare say you know the details but would yo like me to post further as to what is in The Times?
