another Smailes (of Warkworth) death mystery
wonder if anyone can help us with this record, I have info that there was a newspaper article :-
The Newcastle Courant Feb. 20th 1812.
Mr. William Smailes sen. On his return from Alnwick market was thrown from his horse and killed on the spot.
Coroners verdict accidental death.
The Newcastle Courant records are missing from 'Newspaper Archives' for this date and was wondering if there may be another source of this record or a record of the death in any other local papers as I have drawn a blank.
Thanks in anticipation..Gordon.
