Re: 21st April 1941 raid on Newark on Trent ( maybe )

Hello

Re: Hampden, this sounds like one of your ARP listings - From a list of - Civilian War Deaths 1939 - 45 other than in Air Raid Incidents:-

Register No. - 1824
County - Nottinghamshire
Location - New Balderton
District - Newark Road
Surname of Victims - 6 Brumpton
Number - 6
Date - 16 August 1941
Aircraft - Hampden X2959
Other Fatalities - 2 Aircrew

Nicholas Roberts gives:-

X2959 of 25 OTU 16th August 1941 Undershot Balderton, hit trees, then roof of house in London Road, New Balderton, 00.30 hours. Six civilians in house killed, plus crew of two. Circuit training.

Tragically, for this surname registered in the Registration District of Newark - Free BMD Deaths Register (unchecked) gives:-
Sheila Brumpton 6
Lucy Brumpton 8
Alan Brumpton 11
Mary E Brumpton 13
Joyce Brumpton 14
Geoffrey L. Brumpton 18
