I need to trace my great grandmother Jane Bennett (nee Cosnett) I believe she was born in Pershore Worcestershire in about 1861 and moved to Wombourne, Staffordshire in about 1895 ish, she had a daughter who rumour has it died suspiciously in about 1906 aged approximately 10 years old.
My great grandmother had died in 1901 3 months after my grandfather was born, and the housekeeper was responsible for the daughters death allegedly.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Ian

Looking at the free search results in the British Newspaper Archive I can see fragments of a couple of entries that seem to relate:
Gloucester Citizen, 29 March 1904
'....John Bennett, a labourer, Wombourn Common, and Mary Gould, his housekeeper, were on Monday, Wolverhampton, sentenced to terms of three . . . '
Manchester Courier & Lancashire General Advertiser, 2 April 1904
....'John Bennett, [labourer], Wombourn Common, and Mary Gould, [housekeeper] were charged with cruelty to . . . '
You'd have to get some credit with the site to see scans of the pages.

If you haven't used the British Newspaper Archive before, they give you 30 free credits when you register, which should be enough to get the two articles found by Coromandel in post #5 above.

thanks, we have done that and now it seems she didn't die as we had been led to believe we need to find out what happened to her.
