Hi
Can anyone help. I am looking for a newspaper article. Henry Duck emigrated to New Zealand/Australia leaving behind his son Charles (William Charles) to be brought up by his Grandparents. Before he died his son in law William Elam placed an advert in a national newspaper asking for information on the family in New Zealand/Australia. Charles died in 1911 having been born c 1834 either Bath or Calne Wiltshire. I understand the family replied to this advert.
I have found reference to a Henry Duck dying in Australia at his son's home having emigrated 50 years previously. The obituary mentioned son Charles of England and I would like to establish that they are one and the same.
Is anyone able to look through old newspapers say from 1899 to 1911 at the Briths Library?
Thank you.
Helen
