I received the death cert today for a Zachariah Hawes who died on 3rd Jan 1850 in the district of Hartismere - Sub District of Eye. He lived around the Palgrave area. He died aged 45 from accidentally being run over by a waggon wheel. (not the chocolate biscuit...) The informant was the coroner for Suffolk - Charles Gross. I would really appreciate if anyone can possibly look up in the local papers for that time to see if it was reported there? Thank you!!

If you look up the Foxearth family history sight, they have transcibed a lot of newspapers for Suffolk from the 1700 to early 1900s. You can do a Search on their sight, its very good. Julie
