The murder of Madge Kirby

[ChrisGeorge]

Hi,

I'm a relative of Madge Kirby, I always knew that there was a murder on my Grandad's side of the family, but I've only just seen the newspaper articles for the first time. Madge was my maternal Grandfathers' Mothers cousin ....

Is there any new research on this case or does anybody know anything other than the two articles that are on the web? I've contacted the Merseyside Police and even after all this time, they won't divulge anything.

Thanks,
MissD

Hello MissD

Interesting to know you are a distant relative of the murdered girl, Madge Kirby.

Because this tragic murder took place one hundred years ago this past January, it would appear unlikely that the crime could be solved at this late date unless some startling new evidence comes to light. In regard to the reply you got from the Merseyside Police, I should think that what you received was the routine reply that they give in regard to all old cases.

If you did not know it, Madge is buried in Ford Roman Catholic Cemetery. There is a page on her at Find-a-Grave.

Best regards

Chris
