Mr Dead, The Coroner

[SteH]

Sometimes you just couldn't make it up, but it seems Liverpool's Coroner during the 1930s and 1940s was Mr G C Mort, the surname translating into from French as 'dead'

Ste, I believe he was also a very inflexible sort of a fella, in fact he was known to many as a bit of a Stiff....

Ha,ha, funny you should mention that -- only today my dad was talking about a consultant doctor called Mr Bone.

I've heard of a surname Death, but pronounced 'Deeth'

One that amuses me is Terry Nutkins - he's a nature and wild life expert on tv, and his name is very apt. Terry Nutkins .. reminds me of Beatrix Potter's Squirrel Nutkin .. he must get a bit of stick over it!

What about Thomas Crapper - he was associated with the widespread use of the flush toilet?!! Apparently the term 'crap' has nothing to do with his name - purely coincidental
