Hi, > I am hitting brickwalls before I have even started with my husbands family. He knows little about his father's family except that they were from Hull in Yorkshire. > A story from a relative says that ggrandfather was drowned when he had an epileptic fit and fell in the canal. Details are very sketchy but I thought someone might know some thing. > The name was DELLER-SMITH (not even a forename) > Date around 1900 > Place Hull Try the local newspapers, they may well have reported this. Hope this helps Regards Julie Goucher [email protected]
