Thank you for this link! My great grandfather’s sister and her husband went to the Isle of Man in the late 1860’s where he died in a school fire, as a volunteer fireman.  The newspaper on this site has tons more info than I found in the Manchester papers on British Newspaper Archive (but that is how I found out about his death in the first place).  Made my day! Thanks again.

I think I did some research on that gentleman?
Can you remind me of his name?

Found him!
