Elizabeth (Lizzie) Tomms May/June 1915

I am after a bit of info concerning an Elizabeth (Lizzie) Tomms born in 1886 to Charles and Elizabeth Tomms who lived at 127 Edwards Road, Erdington.

She was a domestic servant in 1911 and in 1913 went to work in Canada. She was a passenger on the Lusitania when the liner was sunk on 7 May 1917.

There is a brief mention of her in the Birmingham Daily Mail published on 12 May 1915, but nothing in any other newspaper on the British Newspaper Archive.

Has any member got access to Erdington local news for that period?

Thanks

Terry
