My great great great grandmother Sarah Jane Holt took her life in 1908 in the canal, she lived at Crook Hay lane, married with 8 kids. Has anyone got any old pictures of both places around 1900s/1908. Thank you.

Thank you. Well the verdict was she took her own life. I'm still doing research on her and trying to go through it all, I will try to find the death certificate etc.
