Quite a while ago someone placed a website address for people who had been hanged. It listed all the murder's names and a brief description and the victims name.

Have tried googling and googling and although there are various sites not the one I recognise. Have tried Murderfile etc and nothing and been onto the Pierrpoint website although I don't know whether he was the hangman!

The hanging took place in 1923 and I am doing this research for a friend. We have read about the case in the Times Online but would be interested to know who actually was the Executioner at that time.

Unfortunately I did have this saved in my favourites but I deleted it by mistake thinking that I would not need it. What an idiot!!

Hope someone can help

Thank you

Hi Jeanette

Had a look nothing on there for who I am looking for although an interesting site and have saved it.

I would have thought that the person would have been on there as it seems a comprehensive site, bit of a mystery.

You have helped in on th TTF board a lot and my friend is now "hooked" so am trying to find out more about the person in question. As mentioned above he has read about the case online.

Thanks for your help yet again!!

Regards Paula
