Hi Dalek
A suggestion ... if I may ?
Our
PapersPast website in New Zealand, is a wonderful asset ! However, you shouldn't expect that by simply searching on a forename/surname, that you will find
everything related to that person.
Often information turns up in the most obscure places - and so it is very worthwhile, to "cast a wider net" ... even to the extent of searching all the available newspapers, on the surname alone ! (Unless of course the name is SMITH
) Sure it's time consuming, but you may be surprised at what you find.
And especially, don't overlook items which appear under "Advertisements" - these can be amongst the most informative ... they include all sorts of notices and important dates, which can go a long way towards building up to a "bigger picture" of an ancestors life.
Incidentally, here's one you might like - "3-for-the-price-of-one" ... John and John Herbert HANKINS both feature.
