Ok folks, we'll give this a go. I'll try to make it a bit harder so you have to do your research.

"Who am I, where did I live and how did I die?"

First clues,

I wasn't very old.

Late 1800's.

Nothing to do with gold.

Best of luck. ]

Cheers

Even if it's not him it answers all the questions so I say your right :Y:. We need a Gold Start emoji for times like this.

"Another ghost often felt in the main house is one of the Crawley children, Magdelene, who died after a violent fall on the staircase at 18monthsold.

The rumours surrounding little Magdelenes death include that she didnt fall and was pushed by one of the very disgruntled servants, Mr Ryan said.

The Crawleys, although upstanding citizens to the outside world, were not perhaps as kind to their own staff."

Thanks for saving me Manpa, I'm starting night shift tonight so I won't be able to look at the computer much the next week.

Over to you

Cheers
