Hi, The inquest for his brother Joshua was in the Huddersfield Chronicle but that was earlier. So far this family has 2 suicides 1 death from work accident and a daughter going to America. Parents who can't decide if they are married or widowed. Another one with a police records Not dull by any means but confusing. I will try the Huddersfield Examiner site but I have 3 people in Huddersfield who are connected with this family who can go to the library, weather permitting. I just thought I could see if records were available on line. My dad is called Frank and he helps out at the library but I doubt it is the one you mention, I don't think Dad is up to the researching.

You could try the Huddersfield Examiner, as it would have been around at that time http://www.examiner.co.uk/ In the past I've also found the Local History dept of Huddersfield Library very helpful, they photocopied an report for me*, althought that was about 5 years ago. My late dad arranged it, I have a note from him saying the contact was ' a very useful chap called Frank on 01484 226300'. * incidentally, that newspaper report, from 1936, was headed 'Exciting scene at Ravensthorpe, two men knocked down, one dies from injuries'. Not sure we'd use 'exciting' to describe that these days!

Now I wonder if it is possible to access a similar report in Huddersfield in 1893 and where would I look for the information. Jean in S. Australia.
