I just found that my 3 x great grandfather died after falling into a vat of boiling water. He was working in a mill as a dyer. Found a report in one of the papers but I think there would be a bigger report in a more local paper. |

Hi Kay. Don't you think sometimes the staightlaced ones are so because of something they're kind of rebelling against? My Mam's Grandma was a right harridan and very straight laced. I found out her hubby had been in prison a few times before they married. When I told my Mam she was delighted as she didn't like her grandma. lol |

Looking through the records for Lympne in Kent, there are burials for quite a few unidentified bodies washed up on the beach at West Hythe. |

My mam had a older sister, (my mam was named after her). Who died of diptheria when she was 7. She had had school photos taken a few weeks before but my Nanna culdn't afford to buy the. After the lass died my nanna contacted the photographer but they had been incinerated. Always make me want to cry. At the time she was my nanna'a only girl. |

You're prob right there winterwitch. If they had to rear them on cows milk the poor babies didn't have a hope. |
