Content Warning: Suicide (historical). Excerpt from Season 2, episode 19 of My Love Letter Time Machine. Proprietors of public houses would be called upon to be the custodian on bodies and host inquests until the advent of mortuaries and coroners offices. Which is exactly what happened to my 3x Great Aunt Staniforth at the Wellington Inn, Darnall Sheffield in 1882. Amazing the details that have come up in Janie and Fred's letters.
