I learnt recently that I had a half-uncle who died at 18 months old, and was killed by their father - the ex husband of my grandmother. We're pretty certain they died in the 1960s, in Cheshire - in the Wirral, most likely Birkenhead. I have the child's name, and the name of their father, but not sure if I should share that or if it would be shown in a report. We dont know what happened to his father. He's probably still alive, but I dont think he ever went to prison. My grandmother won't talk about it, understandably so. I dont even know if there was a criminal case or the death was even reported.
Edit: I've found the child's birth record (took a while!) and I now have his full name, and his birth date within 3 months as it is listed under 'births January, February, March'. It's under the Wirral district. I'm not really sure what else to do with that information.
Edit 2: Due to a kind redditor I now have the death record. Timings mean I've narrowed it down to specific months. It's definitely odd to see their death record. Having a family story down in paper feels weird. At least I know the death was reported. No evidence of a criminal case, though. I've considered reporting it to the police but I dont want my grandmother being contacted and memories dragged up for her. At a bit of a loss on where to go from here, but thanks to you all for your help!

It feels like only yesterday.
If you guys have not seen it ever or stopped watching I really feel like it's one of the best franchises out for a few reasons:
- You get a lot of episodes / frequent seasons airing (unlike beloved Melbourne)
- They have a diverse cast that you're bound to like at least 1-2 cast members
- A lot of fun group activities/moments
- Lavish / posh lifestyle we are lacking in some franchises (like RHOBH)
- Drama isn't dragged out and can be lighthearted / not too dark
This season is going really well so far and I honestly didn't notice Lauren wasn't part of the cast anymore. Hanna is a bit problematic and I'm happy for the Dawn + Tanya reconciliation. I hope Ampika somehow returns, but I am doubtful because this show seems to swap ladies like no one's business! Anyway be sure to check it out! You won't regret it.

Reminder that the reunion is scheduled for tonight UK time (maybe already on?) and not next week
Hotelgate is turning into late-gate as it takes up yet another episode. Now I really don't know who to believe. Hanna does tend to say stuff that can easily be misconstrued, Dawn is the devil so may have just made it up but Ester may be right, Rachel does seem to live for the drama.
Was anyone surprised that the editors left Hanna's breaking the fourth wall in the episode? She was screaming about Rachel putting it out there "on the telly"
Also, why are these women dragging their kids into their drama. Unless it is something huge where my mum isn't talking to a long time friend, she doesn't bitch to us about her friends. Sure, we might hear about it if she is talking to a friend but could they not schedule the ladies to gossip about these things rather than drag their kids into it?
Dawn throws open the doors to Warford Hall and welcomes a Ester in the midst of her divorce. Rachel's marriage is on the rocks. Ester hosts a burlesque party.
I'm two episodes into the first season. Should i keep going? Skip to a later season? Stop watching all together?
So the reunion aired! There was way more recap clips than we needed, and the annoying host STOPPED the yelling way too much!
Then Dawn vacated the reunion when it was OVER?!
What was your thoughts on the reunion and Dawn's behaviour?
She broke the 4th wall and threatened production. Yikes!
Give me some memes and stories to keep me busy on my flights. Thanks.
I was watching the 2010 Alice in Wonderland and the Cheshire cat seems like a chaotic neutral variant of The Garf.

Life is a bus ride. Many stops, many faces, but one destination. We’re all headed there sooner or later. Might as well just enjoy it while it lasts and hope the terminal isn’t too much of a dump, if there even is a terminal. You meet all sorts of characters. Some good, and some bad. Blake was one of the rare cases that was both.
At the age below five, every other kid you meet is your friend. But Blake became my best friend simply because he and I shared a first name. He was Greg Blake and I was Greg Dodgeson. As little kids, unaware that there was anything outside of our small world, it was all we needed. I don’t even remember how we’d met in the first place. I’d simply known him as long as I could remember, and so he was like a brother to me. Every day we’d run around like hooligans in the endless summer days. We made up games based around whatever media we liked at the time. Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Men in Black. We’d scream and holler like beasts as we chased each other through my backyard, which served as the canvas for the worlds we chose to inhabit in our blissful ignorance of reality.
When the games no longer held any appeal, we’d go out and hunt bugs. We turned a plastic canister for a toy into a little terrarium where we kept the spiders we found, and we watched as they fought to the death. Winner eats the loser. It was always so bizarre to us, why two bugs of the same species would fight. Weren’t all spiders friends? Why not? We didn’t understand, but then we didn’t need to. The spiders only existed for our amusement after all. Why else would they be there? Blake was always happy to add more spiders into our little terrarium, but I wasn’t so sure.
“They’re just going to fight again.” I said.
“Yeah! I wanna watch them fight.” He said, as he poked through Mom’s garden, “It’s funny!”
Was it?
“It’s boring. I wanna do something else.” I remember saying.
“Well there’s nothing else to do!” Blake argued. We’d gotten into a fight over it and I’d gone home crying. I’d left our terrarium on the ground and I never saw it again.
Our friendship was repaired less than a day later. The incident was forgotten and neither of us seemed to want to dwell on it. When it came time to start school, his Dad drove us there on our first day. He’d borrowed a Mustang from the Ford Dealership he owned so he could drive us up in style. Looking back, it may have been more of a gesture for the parents than for us. Blake could have cared less about the car, and
