Could anyone tell me how to find anything about Athletic clubs or Newspaper Articles about a marathon runner who lived in Dysart Born 1877 ,it would be pre WW1 as he was injured at Ypres in Thigh and ankle so guessing he didn't do much running after that.... He was James Cockburn,my Great Great Grandfather
