Helen, All of the local papers are on microfiche at the Liverpool central library. I'd suggest finding the date of death first though through one of the FreeBDM pages & then ordering the certificate. This would narrow down any search of the newspapers. Be warened though - those things are a real pain to search - its hard enough searching real newspapers for a small story let alone searching them on microfiche.

I have recently found out that my g-uncle Joseph Pickering, a Police War Reserve Constable, was killed in 1941. A soldier appeared in Court in Liverpool accused of his manslaughter. Unfortunately that is all I know. Hoping that someone with local knowledge could tell me where I could find these court records plus any newspaper articles. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.  Many thanks.
