If you can bear it, there's a report of Mary Hannah Dyson's committal for trial on a charge of the manslaughter of Rebecca in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 7 Sep 1904.

Added: also an inquest report in the Derby Daily Telegraph 2 Sep 1904 (upsetting).

...and finally a report of the trial at Derbyshire Assizes in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 5 Dec 1904.  The case against Mary Hannah was dismissed on the basis of evidence given about the character of her husband.

thanks for those, i've just found them and read them, you are right, they are very very upsetting. I guess one of thr risks in researching the family past if finding stories like this. Its the first time i have and i hope the last

As you say it is sad, but it builds a bigger picture of your family history.
Only in the past few months have I found out about the death of my Great Grandfather under the wheels of a train while fleeing from a doctor and the police. I have for years driven over the crossing on a daily basis, now everytime I drive out of the village I think about him.

it does i agree. It's strange that things found our from so long ago can hit you like that though isnt it.  I find it sad there's no one old enough left in the family now to ask about this.
