Newspaper report 1908 (Poole)
« on: Sunday 31 July 05 06:14 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping somebody can find me details of an accidental death that happened in January 1908. The victim was Stanley Walter Crew age 16 from Upper Parkstone. He died 6 Jan and the inquest was held 11 Jan 1908. I've tried Dorset Record Office but they haven't got the relevant newspaper.

You could try Waterfront Museum for family history depature - ask for Pat or David. I am sure they have microfilm of newspaper and also theres newspaper index for surname. The Waterfront Museum sited at Poole Quay. The telephone number is 01202 262600 Tuesday to Friday 10 - 3. Good luck!
