Dixon Brierley - Tragic Death

[lengramar]

Hi KG,

You have been a great help - if there is  a cost to obtain a copy of the poem please let me know as I would willingly pay for that. I notice the article you sent , towards the end of the script is the mention of a picture to be published in the newspaper - would it be possible for you to seek this out and again if there is a cost involved let me know.

Kind regards

Couldn't find anything at the Museum re a picture?
For info, Newspaper access at iMuseum: 24 hrs for £7; 7 days for £10; 30 days for £30; 365 days for £100.

Meanwhile I have attached the entry from the burial register for Dixon.
Also details of the Entertainment laid on to raise funds for his widow. Very non-PC by today's standards!

KGarrad -- I just want to say what amazing information you have found for lengramar. Just brilliant research you have done.

[KGarrad]

Well, I only live a short walk away from the Manx Museum (10 mins tops)
And I know, and understand, the systems there pretty well.

Just happy I could help.

Finally; the fund raising raised the sum of £175 for the widow and children. Quite a sum for 1868

It's still flippin' great info - AND you went to that trouble. You get a gold star!

Hi
I agree with Pennies - a lot of effort was put in. I am extremely grateful for the information.

Kind regards
