Hi Sandra,

You could try charity shops or second-hand book dealers; just have a "google".   Try the ones that specialise in books about Cheshire.

Good luck,

Hi Sandra
Have you seen this site http://www.cheshiremagazine.com/Archives/hank.html

It has a piece about the murder.

If you go on to http://www.cc-publishing.co.uk they might be able to help.

Also just Google the murder of George Morrey and quite a few sites come up that might be helpful.

Kind regards
Su

Sandra,

The majority of second-hand book dealers now operate via the internet. 

Perhaps the family history society of Cheshire  www.fhsc.org.uk  will have a spare copy or will advertise your request in their journal.
