GUEST,Marion Good way to die in I.of Wight in 1900? (41) Good way to die in I.of Wight in 1900? 27 Sep 02


Hello all. I'm working on a song about the life of my friend's great-grandfather, who was orphaned and sent to Canada.

I don't know how his father died, and I'd like to include a historically sensible theory of how he might have died in the song.

The great-great-grandfather, who lived in the Isle of Wight, died sometime around 1900. His oldest child was 5, so he couldn't have been that old.

Can anyone suggest a popular but dangerous occupation that would be appropriate for the time and place?

Thanks, Marion
