Hi Guys I've got three siblings who died together in a train accident in 1867 Not quite the same as 4 , but it made me stop and think Run over on a level crossing in Colney Hatch it seems - offspring of John Roddis - 1842-1866 Here's what the paper said Sept 27 1867 Newspapers. On Saturday 21st September at the Colney Hatch Railway Station three children belonging to one family were cut to pieces. They were upon one side of the line and as a train had passed they ran across the railway, just as the 11.55 am express up Midland was passing through. The result was that the children were dismembered and smashed, their blood and brains being scattered over the engine. Their remains were collected and conveyed away to await an inquest. No blame is attached to the company, as although it is a level crossing a bridge has been erected for the safety and convenience of the public. The mother of the deceased , the widow of a gentleman` coachman resided at No 4 Ada Cottages, where her husband died fourteen months ago, leaving her with six children, three out of that number being killed as described. The shock to the poor woman was so excessive that it is feared she will not survive. Dr Trevor is attending her and that gentleman gives but little hope of her recovery. The inquest was held at the Railway Tavern, Colney Hatch on Tuesday when after a long investigation the Coroner (Dr Hardwicke) gave the resolution that The Jury empanelled at the Railway Hotel, to inquire into the deaths of Fanny Eliza Roddis, Mary Ann Roddis and Henry Albert Roddis have returned a verdict of accidental death, are of an opinion that all public crossings and roads on railway lines should have proper superintendence and protection for the prevention of such accidents in the future. It seems that she did survive , and went on to remarry later regards Neil -- Neil Hartwell The Garden House 74 Lostwithiel St Fowey PL23 1BQ 01726 832785

Hi Jim I have recorded three 'Killick' RFC medal recipients on the Army Medal Rolls. The RFC was part of the Army until 1918. However, from the RAF service records I know that many more than 3 Killicks transferred to the RAF when it was formed, so assume that these three records 'got lost' on the handover of documents to RAF Records!

John It sounds like you may be using Google Chrome as your web browser, and accessing GMail directly as web mail within that. In that situation you do not have a 'native' option to that allows you to click on email links such as the feedback button on the Wills web site. That is an issue for your web browser, NOT a shortcoming of the Wills web site. It is however easily remedied by adding a suitable Google Chrome "extension". Instructions for adding those are here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/167997?hl=en There are a number of extensions you could use. One called "Mailto" is a good example, or "Mailto: for GMail".

Hi John I ordered three wills as soon as the site came online, waited the 10 days (plus a weekend) and received my email saying the wills were ready. This was two days before Christmas. I went to the beta site and tried to download my wills but could not. I emailed the Feedback people who responded within 24 hours telling me exactly what I should do. I had already done that without success, so I emailed them back with a screen dump showing what I saw on my screen. They responded within a few hours saying there was a problem and would get back to me. It was then late on Christmas Eve and I replied that I would try after Christmas. On the following Monday, I went to the website and this time there were links to download the grant and will for each document, which had not been there before. Clicking on the will link produced another error but clicking on the grant link produced both grant and will. The resulting downloads were successful. Apart from the initial error, the feedback people were quick to respond to my problem, especially since it was the two days before Christmas. Considering it was a beta website, I was happy with the service. Liz Member 6058.

John, I've had several wills from the site and I would just caution that it is clearly marked as in 'beta' so I guess one has to make allowances for improvements to come. That said I would agree that I've been given messages to contact support yet there is no link I can find to support. I've sent comment to the feedback link three times. The first, when the site went live, got an immediate response but the second and third no response at all. I too have been told on three occasions that grants and wills are available with separate links to each. In those cases the grant link worked and the will link didn't. Further investigation of what had actually downloaded showed that in one case it was an admon only so the will link was completely superfluous and served only to confuse. In the other two cases the will link was also superfluous but in these cases because the will had actually been included under the grant link as a single document. Very confusing and as you say no apparent direct means to question one's purchase. Perhaps your 'available' items have more than one link included? And only one produces the goods?
