Title: obituary for 1937 dartford
Post by: kenandjulie on Monday 26 October 09 18:13 GMT (UK)

Did Dartford have a local paper in 1937? If there was one I wonder if someone could do a look up for an obituary for Aaron Wilson of 87 East Hill who died on 3rd November 1937.
Hope someone can help

Regards Ken

Hi Ken

Have you tried Dartford Library?

The paper would have probably been the Gravesend and Dartford Reporter. I recently enquired at Gravesend Library for similar information concerning a family death in Greenhithe and they were extremely helpful and actually found the article and emailed it to me from their microfiche archives so  Dartford library should have similar records. It will help them if you have fairly precise details re dates and names.
