Lynda I tried to find something in the British Newspapers accessible online from the State Library of NSW. No luck. Perhaps you should try writing to a library in Birmingham where they may have other papers. If you get a copy of the death certificate first you will be able to give the correct date of death which might assist them.

Walter William FLETCHER died ca December 1911 Hi Brian in Washington I'd seen that entry at FreeBMD, which narrowed his death down a bit. I'm just hoping that someone may be able to find a write-up in the paper because of the circumstances of his death. All I have to go on at the moment is hearsay and we all know how reliable that is, lol. Getting the death certificate is an option too.
