Perthshire Newspapers Early 1900s

[ostler]

Hi all

Can anyone tell me if they've come across a newspaper for the Longforgan area about 1916? I've got a great great uncle who drowned age 13 in a quarry near Errol, chances are it'd be included in a paper.

Try the A K Bell Library, Perth. They have local newspapers and would probably look it up for you if you have the date.

What's the name of your g g uncle? Errol would be covered by either the Perthshire Advertiser or the Courier, both of which are available in the A K Bell Library, but the index cards from the library have also been scanned onto Ancestry. I can do a lookup if you need.

Hi ostler

For the time period I think you would be looking at either the Perthshire constitutional
or the Peoples Journal.

Thanks for the help, folks.

Lauren, my great great uncle's name was Robert Brotherton Small. I think he was 15 when he drowned. If you could have a quick look for me, that'd be great!

Hi Ostler

I won't be in the A K Bell for a while, but if you like I can have a quick skiffy around Longforgan church yard tomorrow if you like.

That'd be great if it's not too much hassle... although I think I've been to Longforgan churchyard before and didn't find anything.

If you see any Smalls or Pauls let me know. If there are any Fife or Edinburgh cemeteries you'd like me to look through in return just let me know!

Could someone check the card index for

Archibald CHALMERS 

Kinfauns - St Madoes - Erroll area, would be before 1850.
