    1. [ENG-SHROP] Details of Railway Accident
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: les1jones Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sal.general/6585/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, I wonder if anyone could help. I have traced my GGGrandfather (David Jones) and found that he died in the Oswestry Cottage Hospital after a railway accident on GWR line. The inquest was on 16 April 1889 and he had been living in Whittington. The death certificate states that he lived for 31 days after the accident, so I assume the accident must have been early in march. Could anyone suggest sources (Newspaper, GWR records, etc) where I may be able to find more details, preferrably on-line sources since I do not live locally. Any help gratefully received Les Jones Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
