Hi,
Ah, you see I knew I'd seen that name before! Can't for the life of me remember ever speaking to them on here though, or any reason for the name hitting me like that, I could be wrong...
Well, there's very few Nora Brindle's documented, in fact almost everything referred to an old lady who lived what looked like a very long and eventful life. However when I looked at Newspaperarchive.com, there was a little paragraph about a "Miss Nora Brindle, aged 13" who was "accidentally shot and killed by William Garver, 18, who was handling a double barrelled shotgun and did not know it was loaded" This was in 1893.
The funny thing being that recently I've been meditating on how many ways I have died, and just today I was saying that I've almost died or been killed in lots of ways in THIS life...measles aged 2 didn't quite do it, neither did falling in a fishpond and inhaling half of it aged 3, nor being thrown repeatedly down a Victorian staircase by my older brother, who also failed to kill me when I was 8 by smashing me in the head with a plank! Been electrocuted, fell asleep in the snow and nearly froze to death, heat stroke... It's amazing!
Just recently I have accidentally been hit in the face, three times in three months, the last of which was being woken up by getting head butted in the bridge of the nose, as my boyfriend had a hypoglycaemic fit in his sleep.
Anyway, I'm trying to remember my point

, I'd gone to sleep listening to some hypnosis mp3's with a view to finding out about my previous deaths, and when I was awoken by being smashed in the face, with accompanying firework display, I really thought someone had blown my head off, I really thought this is what it's like to be shot in the face... two days later I'm playing on the computer and Nora Brindle pops into my head.
I've quoted the article, it doesn't say much about where he shot her, or who he actually was, yet when I went back to read it the second time I was really surprised,I was convinced that it had said that she was shot in the face by her brother... Why on earth would I completely misread the article? I looked around for Brindles and a few years later a fellow called Brindle, in the same general area, was tried as an accessory to the murder and assault of two children... makes you wonder...
Eeeh 'eck, I don't know, mebbe it's 't blow t't ead wots addled me brains!:laugh:
