I have obtained 2 death certificates for brothers who died aged 10 and 12. One of them actually died due to some sort of 'accident' at Colston Hall. The other I believe died later as a result of these injuries. I am in the process of trying to get some inquest/newspaper records. Is there anything else I could search for? Tried google to see if there was any history for Colston Hall and nothing. Any suggestions? |

If you contact the Bristol evening post, they have a weekly feature on local history and will answer this sort of question. The central library college green Bristol also has a newspaper archive which they will search for a small fee. Another possibility is a letter to the colston Hall. Good luck |
