my gt grandfather died 1926 after being knocked down by a bus in our town centre.
he was deaf and didnt hear the bus behind him although the driver sounded the horn.
the shopping centre is now paved over, but i cant help think about him when i walk passed marks and spencers where it happened.
his son (my grandfather) died of pneumonia a couple of months later.
1926 wasnt a good time for this part of the family.

cant help wondering if deafness could be hereditary as my gt gt grandfather was deaf, his son was, his son died at 23, was ok til then and the next generation (my father) was deaf - i am ok so far and so is my brother. they all seemed to have old age deafness perhaps it is just a coincedence.

An Omnibus is a bus, isn't it?

this is from the Glasgow Transport museum

"Both trams and buses were supplemented by a fleet of electric trolley buses – a cross between a tramcar and a motor bus - nicknamed ‘the ‘Silent Death’ because they were so quiet."

It says omnibus in the report but I wonder which one it could be?
