Find Ancestors

nudged for Jackie

Thanks Quoy :-)

nudge for secret red squirrel

My great grandfather died falling out of a railway carriage at a station in Oldham in 1877. I have his death certificate, and there was an inquest. But I have so far been unable to find out anything else.

I looked to see if Lancashire had anything similar to what Quoy mentioned

..... possibly they do, only Oldham is not included in Lancashire!!!

I then went to the Oldham Council site, and found Oldham Archives, a site I had actually contacted on another matter about 5 years ago.

Anyway, they have a collection of old newspapers on microfile ............. so I sent an email giving them the information and asking for a search.

I IMMEDIATELY got a reply back saying that my email would be given to the relevant researcher, and I should hear something in 15 working days.

I'm not kidding!!


Obviously, a computer-generated automatic response, but still ..............................
