Roger You need the Gravesend papers! Have you tried putting "British Library Newspapers" into your search engine? They have put a lot of them online but if the one you need isn't there you can email them and ask them to do a search for you. Send them as much information as possible such as date of death, address, names of possible papers etc. They will search the papers for you for up to two weeks past his death date. I had this done on my great grandfather John Bogg when I found from his death cert that he had committed suicide by jumping into the Thames from the Free Woolwich Ferry. British Library Newspapers searched for and found two notices for me in local Woolwich papers. The first was just a footnote of a couple of sentences. The second was more in depth describing an interview between a reporter and John's widow my great grandmother. It was very strange reading the actual words that my great grandmother had spoken. It was so interesting I almost wished I had another one but that wouldn't be kind to my ancestors! They sent me a disclaimer to sign for publishing rights and then they not only sent me the column but the entire pages of each of the broadsheets rolled up into a cardboard tube. It think it cost me £12 i.e. £6 for each but it was a few years ago so it could well be more now!
