Hello Gah,
Thank you for replying to my request, my sister in law asked me to post the message as she is fairly new to the Family Tree business, this Reginald Bladen is her father, and she would love to find the newspaper article on him, the only other information on him is that his mother name was Alice and that he was born 12 March 1938 in Doncaster and was known as the Miracle baby as they didn't expect him to live, so when do you think he would be mentioned in the newspaper? We thought that it would be within a couple of months.
My sister in law lives in Queensland, Australia and I live in Tasmania, Australia, so we are not local, if you need anything looked up here in Tasmania just let me know and I will see what I can do.
I hope you can help, if you like you could email me at lfclark@netspace.net.au if you find anything.
Regards
Leanne :) :)
