I think its great!

Not many people have a detailed record of a death of a ancestor as that!! as the newpaper articles on Thomas. Some people liked him to wait for his speaches and what way a to go "popeyed"! died happy   :D (The saying 'on the wagon' [off the booze] may have come from him). A headstone would have not said much anyway.

I have a copy of the newspaper article! send me your Email address by PM and it will only be used for that purpose and deleted after I have sent you a copy.

Have sent you a pm.    I had thought that he would have been taken back to Dunfermline, but of course at this stage the Family were still poor.

I have been trying so hard to find more info on him, there are little snippets here & there but most of the info I have found has been in Andrew Carnegie's books (Thomas was his grandfather)  and Andrew was only 2 when Thomas died.
Thank you again

Hi Alison

There are Articles in the Gale 19c newspapers about his death but not as detailed as this Bradford one (Not in Gale website) but must admit I have no knowledge of him as I don't get too involved in people's ancestry! only what they ask for to look up! otherwise I would go nuts with all the different family trees swirling around in ones head

With deceases rampant them day they buried them very quickly and would not have had contact with his relo's also travel was not that fast them days with  smelly bodies.

Quite right Dave, it's all to easy to get involved in other peoples trees, especially if they are so interesting...

Gale 19c newspapers, I presume I can only access these at the Library?

Thanks for all your help, I suppose I should mark this thread completed.

Some Libraries have there own wedsites for home usage and your have a password to enter its usually your library card number. I use Calderdale (Halifax) for 19 c Gale

One off look ups as Thead requests only
The reason I don't get involved is the spread of the tree! only doing asked for look ups as posted only! otherwise one gets un-indated with Oliver Twists wanting more as the spread grows.

Yes on post one subject page one in capital letters. COMPLETED
