Poison is a Woman’s Weapon

The next meeting of the Society will be on Tuesday, 8 March at 7.30pm when we have Angela Brabin talking about the use of poisons, which were readily available in Victorian times.

As an example, Catherine Flannagan and Margaret Higgins were Irish sisters who lived in Liverpool.  In 1884 they were convicted and hung for murdering members of their household by putting arsenic in their food. Upon each death the sisters collected money from a burial society.

Our speaker, Angela, says she is married with one son and both husband and son are very thin and perpetually anxious!

We look forward to seeing you on 8 March at the Weaverham Primary Academy on Northwich Road, Weaverham, where arsenic will not be available.
