Person

A bar worker, killed in the Ladbroke Grove rail disaster, aged 22.

Andrew Behan has kindly carried out further research: Jennifer Marion Carmichael was born on 10 June 1977. Her father was a caretaker and she was a barmaid working in the Tap & Spile public house in Newbury, Berkshire who, in the summer of 1999, had become engaged to be married to a man called Paul that she had met while working in Newquay, Cornwall. The couple had found accommodation in Inverness, Scotland and she was believed to be returning home to 8 Conniston Close, Thatcham, Berkshire, from Scotland via London, when she died, aged 22 years, when travelling aboard the 8.06am Thames Trans Turbo train from Paddington to Bedwyn, Wiltshire, that collided with the 6.03am First Great Western High Speed Train at Ladbroke Grove. She was the youngest of the 31 victims.
