Hi Peter My stepson's mother's family are Blades. I wonder whether there is any connection. I'll put him in touch with you.

Further to the above problem, to which answers are slowly being found, I would like to obtain any newspaper cuttings of the death and cremation of these two. Grace Burton Harper died 16th August 1944 aged 73 Grace died at Bel Air Private Hospital. (Death Certificate has been ordered) and Rev. Charles Hugh Richardson Harper died 18th May 1947 aged 78 (Death Certificate not currently available) His address was Wychwood Kuring-gai, Chase Ave, Turramurra, NSW. He died at Strathfield and could have been cremated at Rookwood Crematorium, however it is more probable that both of the HARPER's were cremated at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium and I have sent an enquiry to them. No funeral notice has been found in the Sydney Morning Heralds up to five days after both deaths - hers on 16th August 1944 and his 18th May 1947. Are there any local area newspapers which can be consulted? Any help appreciated.
