Cause Of Death 1942 .....ish
« on: Sunday 07 December 08 17:28 GMT (UK) »
Im trying to establish a cause of death for my grandfather Joseph Hammond of Wallasey
as I have been told it might have been as the result of an air raid in nearby Seacombe
Would there be any local newspapers of the time  online ?
Thanks in advance for any help

You need to get his death certificate from the GRO. 

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

Do you know when he died?  Then you or we can find the reference.

I would suggest looking at local papers after you have got the cert.

Hi Pancho

There is a death registered in Mar q of 1942 in Wallasey for a Joseph Hammond
aged 69 ref 8a 1101.

According to Wikipaedia the last bombing raid on Merseyside took place on 10 Jan
1942 which fits with a Mar q death cert but it doesn't specifically mention Wallasey.
