Narrows it down a bit doesn't it. I'll see what i can find...Bonny said:On one level there is not much to go on.. yet there can't be many cases of a Mrs Emery being strangled behind the pub by an RAF man!
Hi Withnail... its a bit late to log in are you there to do new fangled thing?Well it wasn't 1960 or 1961 - is there anybody who can help narrow the year down a bit? Or anybody know the woman's name?
Bonny, put a reply up here when you next log in and i'll do this new-fangled 'conversation' thing...
I have a dim memory of someone being killed in the church yard on Foregate street where the flats are now, some thing to do with a RAF bloke and Bill Emery's wife, from the undertakers, it must have been in the 60's, I cant find anything on the web though except this...
Any more details (this side of libel) you could give us, oh age'd one?from MISS T
edit: I've just been asking the wife and she remembers it too, she thinks Mrs Emery was strangled at the back of the pub that is at the end of the road (al shiek's?) and her body dumped in the grave yard, by a RAF man that she was "enjoying the company of".
There are other details that she remembers but they may be libel, and I can't repeat them.
Can i just ask how sure of the dates you are age'd parent? I'm guessing that '66 was quite memorable, as years go, so is it a definite terminus ante quem ?This was in 1961/62 so she probably didn’t die till at least 63 ... I left Newco in 1966 and she had died some time before that, hope this helps .
Well, you may be surprised to learn that the murder actually took place in October 1970 - the accused* was a prison officer not in the RAF.All this is straight out of an aging, drink and drug abused brain and while I am certain I may be wrong.

*The trial was in January 1971 - i haven't got that far yet, so i don't know what the outcome of it is.
I heard about this and I believe she was related to Emerys the undertakers. Are you sure she was murdered by an RAF man? I thought it was a Prison Warder and he dumped her body by the King's Head pub on some wasteland.I was reading a remark on the forum posted a few years ago... about a Mrs Emery who was strangled out side a pub in the 60's, by a RAF man. I am looking at my ancestry and think this woman was a distant relative ... does anyone know her first name? Does anyone know the date of this incident?
