Henry Richard John Denton 1835-(?) Agricultural Engineer married Mary Stephenson 1836-1910 Family lived firstly at Compton Hall (now Compton Hospice) and later at Tor Lodge, Tettenhall Wood, W-ton and had children:- Harry Stephenson Denton, Jessica Denton, Ethel Josephine Denton, Richard Angrave Denton. After much searching, I have been unable to locate any photographs of either The Elms, Penn Road which stood where Carols Garage is now situated - or of Tor Lodge, Tettenhall Wood which is behind The Mount Hotel. Wolverhampton Archives do not hold any photographs of either property. Any help would be appreciated.

For the Times, you need to get on www.times.co.uk and in the Search box type "Archive", which will take you to their archive site, from there you can search for your ancestor. For the Gazette, I think you need to search for "Gazette Gateway" which is the site for the London, Belfast and Edinburgh Gazettes. These are the "papers of public record": if someone gets a medal it is announced in here, or if there's a bankruptcy it's announced in there. It's worth a try, because you might be able to trace a date, and then a local newspaper report, which usually gives ages!
