Hi

Looking for information about Alfred Barrowcliffe and his son, also named Alfred, who died in 1892 age 5 after a tragic accident at Syston Railway Station near Leicester. They lived at 72 Wharf Street Leicester at the time - Alfred senior was a boot & shoe dealer.

Also Louisa Barrowcliffe born abt. 1885 in Leicester and her family please.

Many thanks
