197. Catherine E. McCallum [3569] (Antoinette Sheppard¹⁵⁶, Antoinette E. Townsend⁸⁷, Antoinette E Weeber³⁷, Marthinus Johannes¹², Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹).

198. John Alexander Blyth [994] (Sophia Catharina Kinnear¹⁶³, William John Kinnear⁸⁸, Catharina Johanna Weeber³⁸, Marthinus Johannes¹², Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹) was born on 15 Dec 1861 in Beaufort West South Africa,^⁴ was christened on 12 Feb 1862 in Wesleyan-Methodist Church, Beaufort West,^⁴ died on 22 Nov 1910 in Beaufort West South Africa^¹² aged 48, and was buried on 23 Nov 1910 in Blocka, Ry198, Bird St. Cemetery, Beaufort West South Africa.^¹²

• Occupation: Farmer and Accountant. John Alexander Blyth was first a farmer and then an accountant in Beaufort West. His Death Notice MOOC KAB 6/9/655 Ref 3113 says he was a bookeeper.

• Family: At the request of his brother William Low Blyth who lost his wife and two children from Diptherea, he adopted his surviving son George Clarence Blyth who thereafter lived with them in Bird St Beaufort West.

• Alt Birth: 1860. His Death Notice records that he was 49 years and 11 months old, and as his death date of 22 November 1910 is confirmed, there is an alternative date for his birth which is 15 Dec 1860.

• Historical: The BLYTH's lived at 43 (or 39) Baird St. for many years, but the name of the street was changed to Bird St for no known reason as yet. After the death of May BLYTH, the last resident of the house, it was demolished and a police station erected on the property.

• Baptism: ⁴ Source of record Microfilm 1560855 Item23 Ref 19 Loc 4652 Transcribed Ellen Stanton

• Alt Birth: According to Robert Blyth he was born in Worcester, Cape Province, South Africa.

• Historical: John Alexander BLYTH (the eldest son of David Henderson Blyth) was born in Worcester, Cape Province in 1861. There is uncertainty about this as his parents were already living in Beaufort West having married there the previous year. He spent much of his life in Beaufort West. He worked first as a farmer and later as an accountant (book-keeper?) in the town.
There was a suggestion that he had won a medal at the Battle of Rorke's Drift in 1878 when he would have been barely seventeen. Subsequent investigation by Ralph Anderson has shown that he was not at Rorke's Drift. However he was connected with the Beaufort West Volunteer Rifles (a sort of home guard regiment )and was awarded the Cape of Good Hope Service Medal. He died at his residence in Beaufort West at the relatively young age of 48 and is noted as a book-keeeper by profession.
He had 4 children for whom data is available but Penny Sheppy has listed Dulcimer, Corinne and Ermine as three younger sisters for whom we have no details.

John married Cornelia Louisa Weeber [962] [MRIN: 351], daughter of Marthinus Johannes Weeber [846] and Johanna Catharina Magdalena De Jager [983]. Cornelia was born in Jul 1852 in Beaufort West South Africa, died on 26 Mar 1938 in Beaufort West South Africa aged 85, and was buried in Beaufort West South Africa. Another name for Cornelia was Nellie Weeber.

• Alt Birth: Jul 1852 ?, Beaufort West South Africa. MOOC KAB 6/9/5062 58803 The Death Notice states she was a widowed housewife residing at 43 Bird St. Beaufort West and died in the Beaufort West Hospital at age 85 years and 8 months which makes her estimated birth date as July 1852. In her Will, copied but excluding its reference number, she left Erf 43 Bird St. as an asset in her Estate.
There is an image of her birth certificate that is not completely recorded and omits her actual birth date,

199. George Kinnear Blyth [845] (Sophia Catharina Kinnear¹⁶³, William John Kinnear⁸⁸, Catharina Johanna Weeber³⁸, Marthinus Johannes¹², Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹) was born on 14 Jun 1863 in Beaufort West South Africa,^⁴ was christened on 20 Sep 1863 in Wesleyan-Methodist Church, Beaufort West,^⁴ died on 24 May 1912 in 120 Kerk St. Heidelberg, Transvaal, Southern Africa aged 48, and was buried in Heidelburg Old Cemetery, Transvaal, South Africa..

• Alt Birth: ⁴ Source of record Microfilm 1560855 Item 23 Ref 29 Loc 4655 Transcribed Ellen Stanton

• Occupation: MOOC KAB 6/9/861 Ref 565 DN says he was an accountant and agent.

• Historical: George Kinnear BLYTH was an accountant. it is not clear how he came to be in the Transvaal but the discovery of gold may have had something to do with it. He practised as an accountant and legal agent in Heidelberg. He died there in 1912 and is buried in the old cemetery alongside his young son Heinrich Wilhelm. (CP note that he died at Erf No 12a in Beaufort West is clearly incorrect.)
For unknown reasons his father also moved to Johannesburg from Beaufort West. I suspect that his father moved to Johannesburg towards the end of the 1890's. He died in Johannesburg in 1908 and I have correspondence between my great grand mother Sophia (living in Johannesburg) and my grandfather in Heidelberg. (There is also a comment from Chris Pattinson that he may have rented a farm called Fairfield/Fairview on the boundary of Ladismith village before he went to Johannesburg).
My grandmother trained as a teacher and went to teach in the Transvaal. I suspect that she must have taught in Heidelberg where my grandfather practiced. (It may also be that my grandparents met in Ladismith when she was still a schoolgirl and that is why she went to teach in the Transvaal) They married in Ladismith in 1895 and settled in Heidelberg.
My Father listened to his mother's account of his father's death. He was apparently diagnosed as having liver failure but my father is convinced, from his mother's account that the cause of death was a ruptured appendix. Surgery for that was pretty heroic in those days.

George married Anna Emilie Becker [949] [MRIN: 353], daughter of Heinrich Wilhelm Becker [2808] and Hermina Maria Nefdt [2809], on 5 May 1896 in Ladismith, Cape Colony, Southern Africa. Anna was born on 18 Mar 1875 in Ladismith, Cape Colony, Southern Africa and died on 7 Jun 1950 in Church St. Ladismith Cape aged 75. Another name for Anna was Anna Emily Blyth.

• Alt. Birth: Abt Mar 1875, Ladismith, Cape Colony, Southern Africa. Her Death Notice says she was 75 years and 3 months old at death, thus indicating a probable birth date of March 1875.

• Property: 7 Jun 1950, Heidelberg South Africa. She left the following property :-Erf 504 Arnoldi St. Heidelberg; a fifth share of Lots 945, 975,1131, 1140, 1236 & 1237; that portion known as Rensburg of the farm Houtpoort No 309 District Heidelberg, each lot=83 sq. roods.

He was a leader on numerous scouting camps and hikes, and continued with this lifestyle to this day. Whether it's cycling in summer or skiing in winter, the outdoors has always beckoned him especially when his wife, Karen joins him.
Family fishing trips started a lifelong competition with his father on who caught the first and biggest fish on many of his adult life fishing trips. He and his Father were the first shore Fisherman, after the five year moratorium, to catch Coho Salmon off the Rebecca Spit, Quadra Island in 2001. There was no agreement reached on who had the biggest fish after the two week stay. But, this was just an example of the lesson he learnt along the way - trusted friendships are the real winner in all these games we play.
His Mothers determination to enjoy life and her love of nature and art, were key to his adoption of these values. Once in Plettenberg Bay, while a teenager, his Mother announced the whole family was going for a walk on the rugged coast of the Roberg Nature Park. Even when we pointed out there was practically a gale storm raging outside, she was not deterred. That walk set the standard for his life in all areas of endevour. To this day, a walk in driving rain or snow is not out of the question, depending somewhat now, if there is Scotch to come back to!

Extract from Penny's letter dated 25 Nov 2011

Michael married Penelope Jean Symons [993] [MRIN: 349], daughter of Phillip Symons [2909] and Jessie Margaret Kable [2946], on 5 Jan 1968 in Salisbury (Now Harare) Zimbabwe. Penelope was born on 6 Dec 1944 in Salisbury (Now Harare) Zimbabwe and was christened on 31 Dec 1944 in Salisbury (Now Harare) Zimbabwe. Another name for Penelope is Penny Anderson.

• Graduation: Tertiary Education, 1965, Cape Town, Cape Province, Republic Of South Africa.

• Honours: Postgraduation Certificte, 1966, Salisbury, Rhodesia, Southern Africa.

• Medical: November 2006. An account written by Penny of her remarkable recovery from a severe brain aneurysm.
"I suffered a brain aneurysm in February 1991 and after the initial hospitalization for 4 weeks in the ICU at The Ottawa General Hospital I was transferred to St. Vincent's for 3 months rehabilitation. This was a residential facility where I was monitored by their doctors and rehabilitation staff. For me they designed rehab exercises involving both physical, psychological and mental rehab. and after 3 months I was discharged to go home and continue a regimen to enable me to get back to "real life".
At home I was visited weekly by a rehab person who set me up to undertake various daily tasks. Based on the premise that if "one doesn't use it, one loses it" all these tasks were designed to return me to my routine domestic role and build on past interests, hobbies and my occupation (teaching).
Mike who was my greatest support and "cheer leader" thinks one of the most valuable cognitive elements of the rehab. program was keeping a daily diary of what I was doing, who visited me and what outings I enjoyed. During the St. Vincent's rehab. they got me back on the computer so I word processed my writing daily.......and resumed my "world wide" email correspondence. That went a long way to addressing my short term memory deficits as well as helping me process my thoughts clearly. The problem I had was being honest with myself (too proud!).....and others .... admitting that I did not remember! Mike was good about that one too, using "tough love" to force me to admit I did not remember while reinforcing what I had forgotten. I had to accept that no task was too menial, that everything helped either re-establish or make new brain pathways.
Another problem was orientation i.e. remembering how to locate shops and my other normal day to day destinations. I had to draw maps of how I would get to the supermarket, P.O. etc. from home. Initially I was banned from driving so I had to walk to these destinations from home if possible. Later after I had been weaned of the anti-seizure medication without repercussions, I undertook a defensive driving course to help me acknowledge and cope with deficits like my blind right eye. The day my driving privileges were reinstated I experienced the same joy I had when granted my driver's license as a 16 year old. 30 years later !!!
As teaching had been my profession they arranged for me to go into Manotick Elementary School as a teacher's aide to help teachers there with "one on one" instruction of developmentally delayed students. It was all voluntary of course but it began to build my self esteem that had taken such a bruising! The location of the school - a short walk from home was also convenient while I was not yet driving. In addition a friend of mine who tutored elementary students privately from home asked me to take over her students while she was away on a long vacation. That was my first paid work after the aneurysm!
Way back then the medicos had little hope that my short term memory would be restored to the extent it has, while they seemed hopeful that my sense of smell would return - it didn't! So I don't smell things burning, or B.O!! or perfume nor can I really taste my food. It was a small price to pay for being alive to tell the tale.
Through it all the encouragement from and patience, love, support of Mike, Kerry and Russ was pivotal in my recovery.
The following years saw Mike and me buying a retirement business in the Florida Keys where I was able to assist Mike in the running of a boat rental and gift store. Unfortunately 9/11 affected tourism quite drastically there and ultimately Mike had to resume his management consulting initially in Florida. Later in 2005 we moved back to Canada specifically to join Kerry and family in Calgary where I have started up running a small day care for toddlers from home while Mike has continued traveling on weekly consulting assignments."

• Father's Eulogy: 11 Jul 2011, Leighton Buzzard, U.K. My Son Ron
Ron was the blue eyed boy with curly blond hair - everybody loved him. Perhaps not so good at school but the master at making friends. So much so he was voted in as 'Junior Mayor' of Harare - not a mean feat. In his youth, I remember his great interest in Scouting, and he did so well becoming a 'Queen Scout' - also no mean feat. As a Queen Scout he attended the World Jambore in Japan - one of his highlights of his youth that I remember.
Back home he excelled in the printing business, having his own company 'The Print Shop' for many years.
But I think his great hobby of building things left us all in amazement. His wonderful job of building houses on his plot in Inyanga and the one he and Sue were building in Spain are testiment to that.
In all of this, he loved and was loved by Sue and his son Colin and daughter Tracy and Andy, and of course his grand children Corrie and Devan who are now mourning his passing with me and the rest of the family.
To all of you, we share some burden of your loss and promise to help you to achieve closure by all means possible.
Lots of love
Dad. and his sister, Helena Rose, nee Anderson)

• Bill's Eulogy: 16 Jul 2011. Dad/Bill

"Ron, I just came back from Africa and I was going to telephone you to tell
you all about it. I got to admit it, I did pass quite a few tears when I
suddenly realized it was too late. The fact is guy, I walked by your old
house in Harare and along the roads we trod as kids; with Dad we recounted
the tales of family expeditions; I traveled to Kariba and passed beautiful
country you too traveled; I caught a Tiger fish too small for me to
challenge your catches (unfortunately); and certainly Karen and I well
remembered our fun visits to you in Harare.

The thing is my friend, you have done much in your life to support your
family, friends and country and I want to make sure you know that I know.
And, another thing, our walks in the hills and dales of England while short,
will be locked in my memory forever. We puffed and panted a bit, threw
ourselves on the grass to rest staring up into the sky, and carefully
calculated the distance to the nearest Pub. I so much would have liked to
do that over, and to visit your latest project in Spain. If it's OK with
you, I'd like to plan that with Sue, Colin and Tracey.

Ron, thanks for the memories and friendship.

Farewell,

Bill"

Compiled from Salmon, Morant, Palin and otber sources.

G.Z.W Hayes (Vicar of West Thurrook) August 18 1914
-' I '

'.' '.

1042.Tbo district of Avaley about tbe time of Edward tbe Confessor (1.e.1043)had 4 manors:-
- bad. 4 manors:1. Avaleia or Alvithlei or ..'....
'; !"'2. Delbous or :Belhuaor"
3. Bumpsted orand ......
4. Ke1iture or Bretts
'....
In 1060. Suere a great nobleman of Essex held Ave1eia from tbe King as a manor, containing three hides and a balf (See Domesday Book
19) but other landowners in Aveleia about that time, or in 1066 were Jobn de Waldan. Odo Bishop of Bayeux and Ansgar a Norman cook.,'.
Suere, as head landlord however, held Ke1iture (afterwards called Bretts). It continued a separate manor until the time of Henry III (1199 to 1272). It was called Keliture from 'two old saxon words
signifying If cold town or "blea.k townl'" standing as it did, a.bove "
the Thames.' About lO66 Suere held no other land in the Hundred. ,.
save Keliture and Warley. This, Suere had, as tenant, (in Kingi:
Edward's time) one Ulstan but the plaoe tben had only one hide ot .~
land attached to it.In 1067 Suera had as tenant one Le' ; ~
Between 1040 and'1066 we find tha t 3 f'reemen held it for part of tbe '
time, and during this time it had 4 hides o:r land attacbed! .
(Domesday 54).-.j,
In 1068 William de warren held it 'for exchange; but, meantime! i
sublet it to Wilbert. The manor had increased in value trom 25/- '~~
to 97/-.Ha1f a hide ot' this same manor was held as a distinct
ho1ding for many years. For instanoe, Uffin or freeman be1d the ~ ~
half hide ,in 1040 and one Dolf beld it in 1067. Hugo de Bret, of In 1230 Normandy held this manor of Ke1iture about 1230 and died l250 in ;tbe 51st of Hen.lll (see Lesto de Nevill). He oalled it after his : own name, and it bo1ds this same for the last seven centur1es and
. more..'.
, This Hugo had a son John Ie Brett who held other lands also ???
1298 (of Humphrey de Bohun ot .Earl de Warren and of Jobn de :Brianzon- ~~ :;
(who owned Purfleet a.nd, West Thurrook ma.nors).-
This John Ie Brett had as a son and heir Simon le Brett..!:,
The latter died in 3rd. of Ed.lll {1315}.He left Elizabeth le';;
Brett as his daughter and heir but her sister Joane had- an I.;;',
assignation ot her dowry out of tbis manor and ,soma 'other .tenements.. in Alvithy or Ave1ey .(See Bria.Ann.4th. Ed.lll ,'. ". ). , ..' ... tff.
We do not know at what period the place became fortified by a moat: }of water and a drawbridge but like some other manors this may have 'been only executed for fashion sake after .the manner ot castles a.nd ,'fortified a.bbeys. , The' place does not seem to really 1end itself to defensive fortifications but tha oid moat existed!down to the
, .
,.
?th century and a traoe of it, and the drawbridge still remains.D u:ring some repair operations oarried out in 1914, after stripping the walls of the existing house on the site, several very massive beams were
uncovered, showing that at one time the ceillings were many feet higher.Several small semi-circular w indows were also discovered near the :roof in the front (West) wal in one place together, as if the old mansion was once lighted in its upper storey by a range of small round topped,or semi-Gothic windows. Furthermore, on the basement may yet be seen the upper part of the remains of a stone doorway or large window of a distinctly eclesiastical,design (either the foil or quinqua foil)"
A fragment of a similar door or window oan be detected at the end of what is now used as a pantry. These remains are of the 13th. Or l4th.century at which period many noblemen copied ecclesiastical,architecture both in their castles and mansions. Doubtless these remains gave rise to the local tradition that at one time Bretts Manor house was a monastic institution but this is not true. The usual story is also told about a series of extensive underground, passages and wine cellars "used by the' monks". (?) , Of course, it is probable that the Bretts had good wine, ' cellars, cut in the chalk underneath, and it is also possible that a smal1
tunnel once existed from the interior of tbe mansion down under the moat and opening into a grove some distance off. as a means of escape from the enemy but since Danish times such passages in private manors would be of
,'1'",'.I
little use.I
"~,
'" I'.
1350. A.bout 1350 tbis manor was in possession of Henry Bawdwin a ,-I .'
descendent of the' great William, Bawdwin ,who :is burried at North Ockendon.'. ~
He died in 1316.(see~',
In l356 one John Boyrton possessed it and we find that in 13?0 or there abouts one William Soutre was Lord of the Manor. He grants out of- . I
"aand all his lands and tenements in Alvythele. Upmynstre and "
Kenynton called Bretts Place to John Breyrnore (Clerk) a oertain yearlyI
~, rent of 12 marks "to be received for his lifetime."

.
1465. In the 9th. of Henry vll (1465) one Riohard Selye or Ceely held
this manor ,of :Bretts in Alvetbley, from tbe Lady Inglethorpe. She had ~
:3 daughters being Margaret, Isobella and Barbara. One ot them it is ' supposed married Sir John Baker and brought B retts to him. At any rate we find that Sir john Baker'.....the mansion to Edward Barrett, Esq.
'His grandson (another Edward Barrett) was, by inquisition of the Court "
1600. of wards, found to bold Bretts Manor, of Lord Henry Hansdon of Raleigh. After tbis the manor came as part of Belbouse estate to
Thomas Lennard :Barrett Esq. (as the manor of Bumpstead was also merged into this estate).When Morant wrote in ....he says Bretts Manor 1s large and "encompassed with a wide moat of olear water".' It is known tbat Charles Barrett Esq. the father ot Lord Newburgh once lived in it.
.Morant says "the lower storey is of brick with very ancient Gothic windows tbe rest of plaster or roughcast". Edward Barrett had a daughter Ann who married Sir Thomas Corbet. While on tbis point, I may mention that, : there is a plaoe not far from here called Corbet Tey (the word "Tey'
being an old Saxon word for enclosure). 'This word naturally means Corbet enclosure, but some wit in the 18th oentury seems to have spun a yarn that Queen Elizabeth on her way to Tilbury, calling out to her knight who was riding too fast thus ' Corbet: stay " and from benceforth
the place was known as 'Corbets Tey. The absurdity of this fraudulent
story can be oniy equalled by the other fraudulent" tale about Purfleet'.
.that the
Queen stood on Botany Gardens Hill and reviewed her fleetin
, the Thames crying out "Ah 1 my poor fleet" and henceforth the place!
," was called Poorfleet or Purfleet ... The fact is' that the name Purfleet is simply a. con tracted form of Portfleet or the North of the fleet (called the Mardyke).It had its name as early as the time of the, Edviards, and is mentioned in court documents. These foolish stories seem to have been first told to Holman (whose manuscript is in Colchester museum) :from whom all subsequent historians slavishly copied them.
In tbe yearMrSmith formerly ofbecame tenant of Bretts manor house with a portion of land adjoiningacres leased from Sir ... and his sonnow occupies the house, which
of oourse, is quite m odernised to meet present day tastes. '
- '- Appendix to 'local history.In Dr.C.Cox's "ESSEX" see p.88 it is stated that "The moated house of. .
Bretts is said to have been the seat of Le Brett one of tbe murderers of A'Archbisbop Becket" but there is no proof that such was tbe case. Other families of tbe same name lived in Little Chesterfield and at Thunderley
'
}Hall. The knights who slew Thomas a Becket are given as Reginald Fitzurse "
, William de Tracy t Hugh de Norville and Richard Brito or the Breton, and
it may only be the similarity ot "Brito" to "le Brett" that occasioned
the story. The nephew of, Thos.a Becket once had some land in Stifford..
and when Becket was Dean of the Collegiate Cburch, inside the castle of Hastings he. in his official capaci ty t appointed one of the chapter tbere to be incumbent of WEST THURROCK which church was a Pretend of theChapel of St .Mary-in-the-castle for many c enturies unt i1 the Reforrnatlon.

I've written a piece about my job as a Fingerprint Expert which might be useful info for my page of the Family Tree. Happy reading!
With fond love Noreen
Usually my job as a Fingerprint Expert involves trying to identify crime scene marks.
Crime scene marks come to the Fingerprint Bureau as 'lifts' (where a Scenes of Crime Officer has powdered a surface to reveal a mark and lifted it using a low adhesive tape or gel) or as photographs of chemically developed marks (where property that may have been touched by an offender \endash such as plastic bags, cowling, paper, weapons, etc \endash has been recovered and a Laboratory Technician has used chemicals to reveal any latent/invisible marks in sweat which are then photographed).
I compare the crime scene marks first against the fingerprints of the 'injured party', or anyone else with 'legitimate access', to eliminate marks that do not belong to the potential offender(s).
I then compare any remaining marks against the fingerprints of any suspects put forward by investigating officers.
Finally, any suitable outstanding marks are searched electronically against the national collection of arrestee fingerprint forms. This involves scanning and encoding the crime scene mark (ie plotting the points within the fingerprint where a ridge stops or splits in two; and deciding what finger(s) or thumb(s) or piece of palm may have left that mark). Provided I can plot at least 8 'characteristics', I can launch a speculative search against the local/regional/national database of fingerprint forms. In the UK nationally, over 7 million individuals have their fingerprints on record, so a mark can be searched against all of these and up to 15 respondents are returned within minutes. It isn't as TV programmes such as 'CSI' would have you believe \endash the computer doesn't orientate and match the fingerprints for you! It doesn't use patterns or lines to find matches. It treats the plotted points as a grid system and returns 15 respondent fingerprints with a confidence rating of low/medium/high depending on how many points it has found to share a similar relationship to one another. It is then up to the Fingerprint Expert to decide whether the mark and the print are from the same person. If they are found to match, a hard copy of that individual's fingerprints is used to compare against all the outstanding marks in the case. Much of this comparison work is done through a magnifying glass.
All marks that are identified to a potential offender must then be independently checked and verified by two further Fingerprint Experts. This task can be painstaking \endash marks left by offenders at crime scenes are never left intentionally and are usually poor quality. If many marks are submitted, every scrap of ridge detail must be checked and accounted for. When it comes to giving evidence in Court, the defence may argue that unidentified marks belong to the 'real offender' so we do our utmost to identify everything possible. There is no numerical standard for court anymore (it used to be that marks that contained less than 16 characteristics could not be used as evidence, unless in certain exceptional circumstances). Nowadays we use what we term an 'holistic approach' where we take all the available information into account. The scientific basis of biological uniqueness means that no two human beings will ever share the same fingerprints, so a minimum number for court has no basis in logic or science. (And being the mother of identical twins, I have first-hand experience of this!) So, Fingerprint Experts use their experience and a scientific methodology of analysis, comparison, evaluation and verification to decide whether a mark has sufficient unique characteristics/features to be certain of being a match to the fingerprints of a given individual. We may even use sweat pores and ridge shapes to aid our identification. When we stand up in court to give evidence we are in no doubt that the crime scene mark was made by the defendant. A Fingerprint Expert must remain totally impartial. We provide evidence or opinion regarding identification only \endash that the mark was made by the person. We do not provide evidence or opinion of the defendant's guilt/innocence in respect of the offence \endash it is up to them to explain to the judge/jury under what circumstances their fingerprints have been left at the crime scene.
But probably the hardest part of a Fingerprint Expert's job is identifying a deceased person, where facial identification is impossible. I was called out to identify the fingerprints of a teenage girl who had been reported missing from a hospital 2 weeks previously. Her body had been found beneath an electricity pylon by a dog walker. The post mortem concluded her injuries were consistent with having fallen from a significant height. Whilst she was wearing clothes that matched the description of the missing person, the only way to formally identify her quickly was by her fingerprints. I did my job, called out two other experts to verify the identification, and trusted that at least I had helped to speed up the process of giving her parents or loved ones confirmation that she had been found. But, when I returned home, I did reflect on the desperation that that poor girl must have felt and what she may have gone through. It is difficult in those circumstances to feel or be impartial and those identifications I always remember.
