Road fatality 1953 Newcastle press?
« on: Thursday 06 December 12 20:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I have just found that my grandfather died 29 November 1953 in Wallsend in a car/pedestrian collision and was wondering if this had been reported in the local press. Does anyone know where this could be retrieved online - ideally for free!?

Percival Bagnall Booth was his name


Thanks
Booth - Hulme, Manchester & Wallsend
Craggs - Bishop Auckland, Darlington & Byker
Hutchins & Lewins- Sunderland
Miller, Allan & Brunton - Walker & Byker
Bagnall - Watermen of the Ouseburn

Hi

It could have been in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle.  Newcastle City library keep microfiche copies of all evening chronicles going back to the 1800s so they may be able to help as well, :D >:( :(
