The only reference I can find in the 19th century British Newspapers database is the announcement of this marriage Births, Deaths, Marriages and Obituaries The Ipswich Journal (Ipswich, England), Saturday, January 16, 1847; Issue 5619. 14th inst at Brightlingsea Essex by the Rev William Latten, vicar, James Mackenzie Roberts esq of No 30 West Square Southwark to Phoebe Simson Maris (Maria?) eldest daughter of Jas. Mason esq of Moverons Brightlingsea There's nothing in the Times Anne South Australia Robert Webb wrote: > I'm searching for any obituary or death notice for James Mackenzie ROBERTS, a surveyor and architect who was lodging at 7 Edward Street, Newington, Surrey when he died on 30 March 1890. His home was at Dedham, Essex and he was buried there (well, actually, at the neighbouring parish of Brantham, Suffolk), but no local Essex or Suffolk newspaper seems to have carried any obit. > > I am wondering if one of the South London papers might have carried a death notice or obit, but getting down to the Southwark Local History Library to search the microfilm just isn't possible. Is there any kind soul out there familiar with the archives who might be able to check easily for me?

No doubt he worked on other projects so if anyone has info on surveyors and architects in this part of south London during this period I'd be pleased to make contact. > > Thanks! > > Rob > *************************************** > Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies. > > List Admin can be contacted at: Eng-Surrey-admin@rootsweb.com. > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-SURREY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
