Essential information

Every death touches someone; a husband, a wife, a friend, a lover, a stranger, leaving a mark on history itself. Each of these blogposts begin with the fictional re-imagined story of that unknown witness and continues with researched facts supported by contemporary accounts. Sources include books, ephemera etc held at Local Studies, Central Library, parish registers, Radnor Street Cemetery burial registers, wills, census returns and the British Newspaper Archives website.
