Hi all

I'm back having moved this year from Essex to Suffolk and now unpacking the family history files. Looking at a copy of the Sch..cencus I have just noticed that a great uncle (who was 8 years at the time) living in Bootle has a note in the "infirmity" column "cripple - run over". I take this to mean that he had a road accident? Would this have been mentioned in the Newspapers and are any of the Bootle papers on line.

Hi, good to see you back in harness, as it were.

It's very possible there was mention in a local newspaper, however as he would have been born approximately 1903, so likely to be running around a few years later, it's unlikely that the date you would be looking at would be online, mostly they end at 1900, unless it might be different on one of the paid sites - anybody used them to know what date they finish on?

Bootle papers I believe will be held at Crosby Library.
