Detroit Newpaper lookup request
« on: Sunday 11 February 24 17:20 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in any newspaper articles regarding Prudence Jennings b.1903 in Golborne Lancashire which may explain the circumstances of her death in Detroit. She moved to Detroit with her husband Herbert in around 1927.
She died 24 March 1931 and is buried at the Grand Lawn Cemetery, Detroit. 
Any other records regarding her life and death in the USA is greatly appreciated

Many thanks in Advance

Thank you Sandra. It looks like Herbert’s second wife was the lady in the car crash with them
