Alan Emrys Williams

Alan Emrys Williams was found lying in the gutter outside his home. He was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital on 4 November 1948 at 6.40am in an unconscious condition but his condition deteriorated, and he died the following day at 1.45pm.

He was a miner. It was thought that he had come back home from the colliery where he worked after finishing a shift at 10pm on his stepson’s motorbike, but had fallen off and then taken a bus back to Dover. However, it was not known where he had gone or been in the seven hours between when he should have returned and when he was found, or why he had no money or key on him when he was found or why he did not go into his home when he arrived.
