George Curtis Finds a Body

Found this newspaper article in the Nottingham Evening Post, 1934, referring to a George Curtis of Skegness, who found a body on the beach.
There were only 'our' Curtis family in Skegness around that time, but I'm not sure exactly who this George is.
Off to the library to see if I can find the story in the local newspapers - it may expand on who George is. Failing that, I'll look in the 1933 Dutton's Street Directory and see if that throws up any clues!



UPDATE: Found the article in both the local newspapers, and they reveal it's George Curtis, labourer, of Ivy Cottage, Ingoldmells. He apparently was working on Derby Avenue, Skegness, when he found the body.
Still no wiser, though, as to if he was part of our family!
