"I am writing on behalf of my sister in law Her grandfather, George Frederick Hollis, aged 58, lived in Jubilee Drive, Liverpool 7. He was at Ainsdale Beach with his two sons over the bank holiday in August 1938 . He was one of around 16 people who died when they were swept out to sea. The lifeboat was called out. I have tried searching newspaper archives but can find no mention of this. Does anyone remember hearing of this incident?" Sent in by Marged, but not her story - from today's local paper.
