Dianne, Ive just had a message from CREWE LIBRARY telling me that they have sent the film to CHESTER RO and I had to complete a form which can be downloaded from the web, something like an authorisation form to view. The cost is £1.20 to have a copy made and they will despatch same to my home address. Well worth it, isnt it? TED XX

nell, they certainly are, mu daughter worked in the local llibrary for 4 years whilst at school. after school for an hour and on a Saturday. She loved it, but unfortunately when a vacancy finally did come in the library and she applied, she never got it. A bit of nepotism crept in. The girl who got the job was the daughter of the leading opera singer in the town, and a local councellor. She stayed in the job 4 weeks, and the library had the cheek to write to my daughter asking her to come back on a voluntary basis as before. The head librarian heard words from me that he didnt know existed, the day she got the letter. THATS NOT DECRYING THE LIBRARY STAFF. TED.

Ted I had the same query a few weeks ago re a shotgun death in Altrincham Cheshire. I phoned Chester Archives and they have the details of Cheshire Inquests, but you have to make an appointment to go and see them. They are not published on the internet, nor can they send anything out to your home by post. Dianne xx

E-mail Crewe library with the date of the inquest and I bet they can photocopy the newspaper report and send it to you for a few £. nell

Coroners inquests rarely survive, those that do will be at the Cheshire County Record Office Whatever company was involved might also have records, thoguh whether they'd be wiling to share is another matter. As for newspapers, Crewe Library has a lot on microfilm in the Local Studies bit.
