Thank you so much for this. A new subscriber here.
I am conducting genealogical research and currently looking into the Black family. I am a descendant of the Garnett family (through Constance Black's husband, Edward).
Although a wonderful read, such a sad story. The lack of acknowledgement towards ill mental health and the expectations and discrimination of gender roles at the time, clearly demonstrates some progression within contemporary society.
I'd be interested in looking at the sources you used to collate this information, if that's OK?
I look forward to hearing from you and reading more of your work. Thank you.
Delighted it's useful! I don't usually include my sources on this story as I write to entertain/inform rather than as an academic exercise. I got everything for this story from digitised sources. Some of it came from the census, but the main records for the actual deaths were:
Brighton Gazette, 21 Jan 1893, p.8 and
Southern Weekly News, 28 Jan 1893, p.11
The Southern Weekly News account is far more comprehensive.
I also spoke about the case for an online talk on Brighton inquests, which includes a bit more info about David Black as a coroner. That is online and you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/jtkTa3JNWJo?feature=shared
Thank you. I found your story both entertaining and educational. I will take a look at your speech. Looking forward to reading and watching some more of your work.
