I have been told that a child in our extended family was killed in a hit and run accident in Brixham, possibly around 1927.
The child is thought to have been about 3 years old and might have been called Diane, no idea of surname as complicated "adoption" situation often come across at that time!!
This was told by an elderly relative who has never lived in Brixham - so quite possibly faulty memory AND Chinese whispers, but how could I find if there are surviving Coroner's records to search?
