There is an article in the Liverpool Mercury 16/01/1852 about Thomas' death.
"At about 6 o'clock on Saturday morning last a man named Thomas Strickland was hooking some waggons to an engine opposite the old goods station of the North Union Railway Wigan. In consequence of the slippery state of the line he fell, and the engine caught him, and rolled him underneath, by which means he was so severly crushed that he died the same evening."
How awful.
Katie

did Thomas's death send his wife into early labour with Nancy

He was crushed by railway wagons on 10th jan 1852

found in lancashire libraries newspaper search which I think you have access to Mark. It is not possible to copy & paste the info

reported in both London Chronicle and The Standard and the Liverpool Mercury and the Preston Guardian and Lloyds weekly newspaper

Katie and lancashireAnn - not heard about this at all.. am i able to find this info online ...

Mark - go onto the Tips board. I have just nudged Jonesey's info on the newspapers.....just to save me re writing it, .....an absolute brilliant site. - Jle

Do I remember you saying you have access in Wigan library on Fridays? Apologies if I am wrong.

Just log on to the lancashire library site, choose search, then 'online reference library' then 19th century newspapers.

It will then ask for your library bar code

Southport library on a Friday
