Venue - The Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury SY2 6ND
Subject - "Mayhem on the Midland, An Accident, a Suicide and a Murder"
Speaker - Chris Rouse
"Mayhem on the Midland" takes an in depth look at three particular incidents found through our "Wyvern" Index: an early 19th century railway accident, a suicide and a gory murder, and we use these to show
how a one small snippet of information obtained from a staff ledger can be built up to make a detailed story through the use of common records such as Newspapers, Assize records, military records, census and parish records, Railway staff ledgers and minutes, maps and gazetteers, on line sources etc.
