Is the Arcari family from Ainsdale fruit and veg shop related to you? I remember them from the 1970s as I went to school with one of the daughters.

Whoops I should have checked in here earlier.
Re Arcaris at veg and fruit shop. I know I am not related, however my info on them is from the 1930's.
My quandry is: a person that used to work for them back then may be my grandfather. This person was supposedly killed sept/oct 1930 in a motorcycle accident, no sign of his death shows in any official records. I have a picture of his fresh grave and it looks like it might be private property as against a cemetary.
I wondered if in fact he was buried on his employers (Arcari's) property.
I believe the Southport library has newspapers dating back to the time, I would imagine an accidental death would likely be in the paper?
Are there people who will do searches of these things??
The name of the person I am checking on is Victor Thorne.

I remember Mr Arcari the ice cream maker/seller. He lived at 70 Linaker Street and made his ice cream in an outhouse at the back of that address in the 1930s. He had a 'stop-me-and-buy-one' tricycle but most local children called at the back door of the house when Mr Arcari, or his wife, would come out and serve them from what used to be the wash-house. Watching the ice cream being made was a popular attraction.

Brings back memories...I remember a man on a trike selling icecream, I wonder if it was the same man?
Any further news from Larry?
