Here's another one....Thomas Crisp, aged 30 of Togston Terrace, buried 8 March 1898.

Hartlepool Mail, 7 March 1898:-
"A sad accident occurred at Acklington Station on Saturday night, when a man named Thomas Chrisp, residing at Togston-Terrace, Broomhill, lost his life. It appears that Chrisp had been at Alnwick hirings and got into the fish train going south. The train is not timed to stop at Acklington, and it is supposed that the man must have tried to jump on to the platform whilst the train was travelling at high speed. The body was found lying on the rails close to the platform in a terribly mutilated condition, and he was taken to the waiting room to await the inquest. Chrisp was about 30 years of age, and leaves a widow and two children."
