I'm not sure where to put this request so please move it if it's in the wrong place.
I recently received the death cert for my gggrandfather Josiah Roach who was found "dead in his bed" in January 1906 of heart failure & chronic alcoholism.
An inquest was held on 12th January 1906 and I've been looking for a report. The Public library searched for a month after the date in the Cardiff Times and in the South Wales Echo. They did these searches for free but to search in the other 2 papers they have for that time-span they want search fees of £15 an hour :eek:
Soooo - if anyone is able to go to the library & look for me I would be very grateful.
The two newspapers are the Western Mail and the South Wales Daily News
Josiah had left his family, his wife & 2 young children in Devon sometime between 1874 & 1881. The informant on the cert was the Coroner. I'm hoping the inquest will tell me more.
