Harold William Renshaw

Harold William Renshaw, Alfred Taylor Rogers and Rosanna Rogers were murdered by some person or person's unknown during a Zepplin raid over Nottingham on the night of 7 September 1916.

Most deaths from German air raids were considered acts of war but in this case the coroner's jury returned the verdict of murder by some person or person's unknown.

The Zepplin raid had targeted the Midland Railway station which had left all its lights on. The Zepplin stayed over Nottingham for 15 minutes and seemed only to have targeted the railway station.

Harold Renshaw had been in bed with his wife when a bomb came in through the ceiling at their home in Broad Marsh setting fire to his clothing. He was taken to hospital but died before reaching it. Curiously his wife who had been next to him escaped unharmed.
