 Yes i missed this bit,
           on the first page of the corners report it say
 Was the life of the deceased insured and in what office,
 answer : YES PRUDENTIAL.

   Unfortunately it was unlikely that the insurance company ever paid out .... suicides are usually excluded.

Although that could be an interesting sideline to follow .... you could "Do a Clarkson" and hunt for the money.

Hi Graceland,

I can truly understand how you feel. I have just discovered that my grandfather committed suicide also. My grandmother only told my mother just before she died, and my mother only told me when I started to seach the family history.

We all thought he died of a brain tumour when he was 26. but he cut his wrists. Whether he had the tumour too I don't know, but I am desperate to find out. I am trying to get the inquest papers for this but don't know if 1937 is allowed.

He was a pharmaceutical chemist, and as my daughter is doing chemistry at university  I said - "you are taking after your great-grandfather". Not in everything I hope !

It is so sad to find this in your history - I had no idea at all.

I hope this will be the only sad thing we find.

He was a pharmaceutical chemist,  <snipped>

Pharmaceutical chemist - Do you mean he became a Pharmacist?
If so there is a useful fact sheet on tracing Pharmacists

http://www.rpsgb.org.uk/pdfs/tracing.pdf

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain - http://www.rpsgb.org.uk did
not fom until about 1840. The Society's archives may well have some details, but
you will need to provide more information, and they charge approx £25.00 for
research.

Also you might be able find him in some Directories

YES its strange how the relatives try to cover things up hide it away so it will fade from history
 
        Yes it is a sad story but interesting and it gives us now a picture to look back on ,and be thankfull for what we now have nowadays
