I would like to thank Jeanette for advising about Papers Past being searchable. I had a look and discovered many useful bits of information about the Cottrells/Cotterills, including a report about my husband's grandfather who was run over by a train at Hastings. It was so interesting to find out more of what had happened to him. (He survived but had an arm amputated). Well worth a look!

Glad it was helpful Jenny - I found out about it from a Bristol list I'm on - a roundabout way to hear about a NZ resource!
