Title: Looking for the newspaper article about the house fire
Post by: lorrainec on Wednesday 06 March 24 18:59 GMT (UK)
Hello everyone!
My granny had her name in the paper and I am hoping someone can find it!

Zena Clark
Published: 28th Feb 1940
Newspaper: Daily Record

Her house went on fire!
Any help is most appreciated!

The Daily Record for that day has a report of a fire at 3, Davidson Street, home of a Mrs Clark and her 2 year old son Alexander.  Her husband Robert was serving with the army in France.

Is that the one?

Odd tho ... my dad insisted he was there too! He was about 3 or 4 ...

Would the story have been carried in any other newspapers?

Thanks so much!

Possibly, but none that I can find online.
