I am currently researching the history of two uncles of mine who died prematurely. The first was called Bertram Thompson (Bertie) who died on 22 Jul 1922 aged 6 years and 11 months from a drowning accident at Aldwarke Lock when he went to play with a toy yacht which my grandfather had made for him. His brother, George (Ginger) died on 17 December 1925 at Parkgate Forge when he was crushed between two trains. He was 19 years old. I would be interested to hear from anyone who recognises these two brothers as family members, or anyone who has any information about the incidents in question.
