Thanks for that info. Thought that might be the case. He died at his home address of Hillcrest Road, Highgate, N6. It looks like he lived in Highgate, N6 for most of his adult life. When I did a google I came across a newspaper Hampstead and Highgate. Can anyone with local knowledge confirm that this would have been the local paper for that area.

The easiest way to find a newspaper for a certain date is to search the British Library Newspaper Catalogue online. http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b&local_base=NPL HTH Anne On 15 Jun 2011, at 21:41, Jamesie & Pieta wrote: > Thanks for that info.
