A controversial murder case will be the focus of the East of London Family History Society’s meeting on 24 June.
Percy Thompson was stabbed to death by Frederick Bywaters on 3 October 1922 in Ilford. Percy’s wife, Edith, had been in a secret affair with Frederick. Although there was no evidence that she knew her husband would be attacked, both Edith and Frederick were convicted of murder and executed in 1923.
The high-profile case will be discussed at Wanstead Library from 7.30pm (visitors welcome: £3).
