PS the Volume you need to check at the Record Office is 282-AUS-3-2
As advised above, if there are any further details they will be held at the Record Office.
There may possibly be an obituary in the local newspaper - possibly the Liverpool Mercury, also available at the RO or on the old newspapers site online.

There may also be payment books for the grave at the RO, sometimes for other cemeteries there have been both on Ancestry, but doesn't appear to be so for St Austins.

I did go the records office a number of years ago but at that time could not even locate a record of the burial.
I thought that I would of been able to find something as he died as the result of an Industrial Accident in Bostocks sugar works in Garston.
Death certificate stating that he died by being drawn into the shaft of machine.
Yes I would have expected a write up about an accident like that. Perhaps a closer investigation when you get there will show up something not so easily found by a search engine. At least you have an accurate date to narrow down your search.

There should have been a report of this death in the Liverpool Mercury but there's no mention of it. Unfortunately there are no surviving inquest records for this time.

Like Mary I could not find a report or death announcement in the Mercury, but one of the Bostock family was reported as having a nasty accident at the sugar works not long afterwards. That was at the Old Dock, Garston.

Yes I read all about that when I originally found out what had happened.
It was either later that year, 1893 or perhaps the following year...I think it was in a fire.
There are some usefull accounts of what life was like in thoses days at the Sugar works....
Certainly not all sweetness and light ...
Apparently it was a horrrible environment to be working in..
Certainly hot and humid and very dangerous..
Accounts of the time mention of people actually killing themselves because of the conditions in them.
Yes in my earlier research I was at the records office and vieved the Mercury but could find nothing..
Today it would be front page news as we now have so few Industrial accidents, yet in those days they were a regular occurence.
The inquest report could be in The Prescot reporter. They had a section for Garston News at that time. Also in the Mercury there is a column titled Local News which also has inquest reports held by the Coroner for Lancashire if i get a quick chance to-morrow I'll have a look. Not enough hours in the day for me at the moment.

Most of us I imagine, like myself, do research in spells and spurts.
We then put it down for a variety of reasons, some like myself for years at a time.
We then lose touch with things, sites we used, or new ones we haven't heard about etc.
It's invaluable to have so many who keep it going, who can point us in the right direction when we have lost track.
His inquest was reported in the Garston and Woolton Weekly Reporter 18th January 1893 The headline was FRIGHTFUL DEATH AT GARSTON. It's a good write up regarding the circumstances of his death. I have copied the article if you pm me your contact email I will forward it to you by scan
Well done Katie! I said you were a good un! Thanks for a good result.

A friend has passed me a contact name and number for the administrator at St Austin's, which I have sent to Michael by pm.
Perhaps he will tell us the outcome.
