GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
Can any one help with this request from
Joan Foster.
Hi John,
I am not sure whether you will be able to help me in my quest but here goes!
Do you know where or how I may be able to find anyone who lived in Gt Russell Street in 1937? I am interested to find someone who may remember a tragedy in this street in June of that year.
There was a house fire that killed 3 children of the family Beet and Walter Collins aged 30 who tried to rescue them but they all perished. It was reported in the Times and am sure it would have been in a local paper.
I live in York so have been unable to get down as yet to research it in the Library.
Walter was a relative of mine believed to have been my Mothers half brother; unfortunately no one is around to give me any info.
Walters birth entry apparently is a rogue one so I cannot even find out from that who his parents really were. He is somewhat of a mystery.
If anyone remembers him is there a way to contact through your site? This is a long shot I know.
Thank you, and I have really enjoyed looking at the site as most of my family lived in this area at one time.
Kind Regards,
Joan Foster.
