Thomas Bain died 1910

[oldchopper]

Any help would be appreciated.  I am trying to discover something about Thomas Bain born 11 March 1854 and died in Galashiels on 13 June 1910.  The death certificate gives the cause as "shock following internal injuries - the result of a railway accident; he died within a few hours of the accident.

I cannot find anything about a railway accident in that area in June 1910.  Any clues or suggestions?

Thanks in hopeful anticipation

Hello

Welcome to Rootschat.
A polite query? -or 2.

1.  Do you have an RCE (Register of Corrected Entry )for the death entry -  was there one?  Does it give any other info. 

I'd have thought a death entry like that would have had an RCE attached.

Was your Thomas born in Gala?  If so, should this query not be on the Selkirkshire board?

Regards,   Steve

"official and newspaper reports of railwaymen and women concerning  accidents , retirements , presentations etc."

looks like it's £8(incl. P & P) to order a report
not sure if that would be the official report or a newspaper one

Many thanks for your help everyone.  Looks like the Black Sheep Index (which I did not know about) may resolve my query.
