Thanks to one of the guys from Battrick, who kindly searched The Times archive for me, I now have some more information about Marion Hartley, a distant relative who was killed in 1966 aged 15.

Whilst doing an interview for my family tree research I was told about a relative of mine who was murdered in the 1950s or 1960s.
There was only one source on the web that I could find that mentioned Marion Hartley, my 1st cousin twice removed, and that was the grainy image of the front page of a Daily Mirror newspaper from Monday 25th July 1966.
Burning Monk

Thích Quảng Đức (alternatively Thich Quang Duc) is the Buddhist monk who self-immolated (burned himself) in 1963 as a protest to the treatment of monks by the South Vietnamese government at the time. He is most widely recognisable from the picture featured on the 1992 album cover of Rage Against the Machine

Background
Over the last couple of days, an amusing situation has escalated involving me and a model-turned-web-designer/developer Lindsay (aka @idiot_girl – her apt choice of name). Lindsay runs the Web Design For Idiots website, among other websites. She describes herself as:
a 26 female, probably the hottest computer geek you will ever “virtually” meet.
I came across Lindsay in the forums of the CMF Ads network that I trialled on my site briefly. Her Web Design For Idiots site aimed to produce articles that helped new web designers get started with aspects of their blog or site. Her Am i blog-norant page (since removed) confirms that her site was a journal of her learning, rather than being tutorials from a recognised expert:
And although I am still sloshing my way through all this technicalities, I will be posting tutorials on everything i learn as i go.
In February 2009, she posted about a competition to review her site, and possibly win some business cards and other goodies. I didn’t need the business cards or goodies, but as she’d been pleasant on the CMF forum, and I wanted to help a new web designer, I took the time to write a lengthy review about her site, and emailed her about it. I don’t recall even getting a thank you for doing this. Read how some people just aren’t willing to learn
