Hello Jenny

I have done so, thanks. I've got a copy of the report of his death from the Birmingham Daily Post, I think it was but couldn't find anything about the inquest. I'll have another look when I go on Saturday to see if there was anything there. Unfortunately, the copies of the film were not very good but they've now got new readers in the library and the ability to make the test bigger without losing any clarity so I may be able to see it better this time.

Kind regards
Maggs
