1 Bunhouse road is now the Transport Museum in Glasgow. How ironic it would be if it was a transport accident. There were also tramcars in Glasgow during this time Also Kelvin Hall is in the same area. I dont know what it used to be in 1930.

I need to get my hands on the news paper report. Its so frustrating to be so far away from it.

My wife's great grandfather was knocked off his bike and killed in 1928.

The local libary dug out the report of the inquest in the local rag for us.

Researching:
Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

If it was today I would say this was a road traffic accident, but with it being 1930, I'm not so sure.

I would think they would report it in a newsapaper if it was an accident and also if he had to have a PM.

Just had a look on a Genuki site (As advised by Rambling Rose on Tips board) and the local FHS charge £15 to do small research.

Wish my husband was a celeb, WDYTYA might have done this for us!!

I have just found the death cert of my husbands gr gr grandfather on scotlands people.
Cause of death Fracture of skull, ribs and arm. Rupture of liver and haemorrage into pertitoneum- Post Mortem results.

Trouble is I cant read the place of death, although I can make out Argyle St at Bunhouse Road, Glasgow then something about an ambulance then .....Infirmary.
He was 79 - awww.

All very interesting. Anyone have access to the papaers from Glasgow Nov 1930??
