The claim suggests George Kenworthy died as a result of the Flood; however he isn't on the list of named dead published in "The Great Flood at Sheffield" Did he die because of complications afterwards or is he an omission to the published list? 

Employees at Chadburns Wheel, Nursery had their Claim for loss of wages dismissed.
