lesleythompson@hotmail.com (since 1994). John P Thompson is my Great x 2 GrandFather. He died on the 2/9/1881. The Death Cert says "Low fever accelerated if not the direct result of injury accidentally received on his left hand at Norwood Colliery on 1st september 1881.". I have most burials in the family and when I find this information again I will let you know. I live in Australia (born in Sunderland, UK). I think it's really sad he died this way. Do you have any other information I could put into my files? Thank you. |
