Hi David, I see you are in Australia.(I am in Queensland) ..so how do you access the Times Newspaper from Australia.?. Perhaps the death of my John Campbell, and his wife Mary Campbell may be posted there as well... and even the death of his son Colin who died while surveying the Jungle in Ceylon. And the death of his other son, Archibald Glenlyon Campbell, a teacher at the Royal College Colombo.

Hi Gay, I have an unlimited access subscription to the Times database, as I research the UK, India and Ceylon in my family research, Smallwood family. I am happy to do lookup's for you, just need to narrow the date down for me...

Hi David, I have been trying to get to the bottom of a mystery about the death of my Great-Grand-Father (Richard William ROWLANDS) in Ceylon. I have tried church records, Army records, genealogists and even the DBU, but no success. Seeing your email made a reference to the Times database, I was wondering whether his death may have been reported in the news papers of the day or that there may be a death notice. I have been given a date of death of 23 April 1888 by one of my relatives. His last recorded entry in the Ferguson's Directory shows that he was living in Nuwara Eliya in 1887, was working for Bryrd & Co who also had an office in Kandy. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ed.Rowlands Yarrawonga, Victoria. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Kenny" <dakenny@ozemail.com.au> To: "Gay Fielding" <gayze@tpg.com.au> Cc: <srilanka@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 10:47 PM Subject: Re: [SRILANKA] William Small > Hi Gay, > > I have an unlimited access subscription to the Times database, as I > research the UK, India and Ceylon in my family research, Smallwood family. > > I am happy to do lookup's for you, just need to narrow the date down for > me... > > Regards > > David > > > Gay Fielding wrote: > >> Hi David, >> I see you are in Australia.(I am in Queensland) ..so how do you access >> the Times Newspaper from Australia.?. >> Perhaps the death of my John Campbell, and his wife Mary Campbell may >> be posted there as well... >> and even the death of his son Colin who died while surveying the >> Jungle in Ceylon. >> And the death of his other son, Archibald Glenlyon Campbell, a teacher >> at the Royal College Colombo. >> >> Cheers >> Gay >> Research Names: >> http://www.perthdps.com/research/fie01.html >> >> > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > SRILANKA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
