Perth Digger Posted 16 December , 2009 Share Posted 16 December , 2009 Steve May I ask how good the Kentish Express is for obituaries and in memoriams (the latter post 1918 if you know). Thanks Mike The following obituary was published in the Kentish Express on 15 July 1916. Lieutenant-Colonel F W Stringer, ASC, who died at the Homoeopathic Hospital, Great Ormond Street, London, on June 30th, was the second son of the late Mr Henry Stringer and was born at New Romney in 1873.

stevem Posted 16 December , 2009 Share Posted 16 December , 2009 I am afraid I dont know if the Kentish Express is available on-line. I copied the obituary in the 1980's when I lived in New Romney, Ashford Reference library had the paper on microfilm (full name was the Kentish Express and Ashford News). It is such a long time ago I can really remember how good it was for obituaries in 1918 and later. The focus was on the Ashford area and with good coverage of Romney Marsh and the East Kent Regiment, my two areas of interest at the time.

The Majors Batman Posted 16 December , 2009 Share Posted 16 December , 2009 May They Rest In Peace All are from my continuing research into the Times Archives I think it will be found that Captain James Lindsay is listed already on the Debt of Honour and is buried in Edinburgh (Dean Or Western) Cemetery Lair G.G.183. under the intials T H. although his family marker has him as James therefore it only needs his given names being changed on the DoH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
