Newspaper article.

master brummie
I hope I haven't ask anything similar on here.......
A few years ago I traced an ancestors death through a newspaper clipping and I am sure I saved it but I have searched and cant find it on my PC.
I have newspaper access on FMP and looked on here and many other places and the article wont come up.
The mans name was Job Clark 1844-1866 and at the time of his death lived in Alvechurch (think).
He died in an accident in either Alvechurch or Redditch in1866 at work while making sail making needles. Something happened and the raw metal went though his clothing into the stomach and he died shortly afterwards.
I think it was in a Redditch newspaper but I cannot find any mention anywhere now.
He is one of many people that have few records findable.
Thanks.

The event was well supported. Some are virtually identical, but are included
