Accident

I am looking for any information on a Ephriam Booth who was killed in an accident when his car was hit by a train at Shore Hall level crossing (Penistone) 29th March 1933. There must be some records of this tragic accident but I am unable to find any.

Re: Accident

To help searchers, FreeBDM has an alternative spelling: Ephraim

GRO: EPHRAIM THOMAS
