Greatly depressed at hearing of her son's death in action, Jeanne Ramus (49) of Holloway committed suicide on Tuesday last by taking salts of lemon. At the inquest on Saturday the jury returned a verdict of 'Suicide whilst of unsound mind'.

It was in 1915 in Holloway , London....Her name is Jane but it seems it is Jeanne in the newspaper archive....I knew she ended her own life because her son died in WW1, but little did she know that 3 of her sons would die...
it was inthe Western times (Devon) 21st June 1915..

Thanks MarieCeleste

Don't know Jules, suppose you need to contact support.

I could try to find it in the British Newspaper Archives if you can give me place and date?

I have just used 5 credits on here to look at newspaper archive for the suicide of Jeanne Ramus...It took my credit but the page was blank!! It just says page left blank....Don't really want to try again as I only have 5 credits left...Are Genes having a problem??
