Hawera Star lookup please
« on: Sunday 10 August 08 00:02 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone in Taranaki with easy access to newspaper files please? I am looking for reports on my grandfather's drowning. He was George Joseph ASHLEY (aged 30) and drowned in the Patea River. The date I have is 16 Aug, 1932 - but not sure how accurate that is. Paperspast do not cover this period.
Thankyou in advance.

Hi Elfield
Have you tried the Patea?Wanganui newspapers? Or written to the South Taranaki Musum in  Patea?
Good Luck
