Sad to say there was no mention of Daniel GOWER in the Thanet Times or Thanet Gazette.
I checked headlines and annoucements but nothing.

There was a death annoucement for John Hand but nothing further.

Thanet Times 24th December 1996
John Henry HAND (Jack)
On 14th December 1996 after a long illness at QEQM, Best beloved husband and father of Trudie, Michele (sic) and grandfather to Anthony.

That is above and beyond the call of duty thank you so much, at least I have the date now! Funny it doesn't mention his wife by name, she must have put the announcement in! Pity she couldn't get the spelling on my name right  - hey, ho. Families!!
I am still waiting for his father's (?) death certificate to come from New Zealand for chaper 2 of the saga!

My question arose from the file just below entitled "Herne Bay Watchmaker". The matter being investigated was :-

"I would have thought that the violent death of a cinema manager overseas would have made the local press. Does anyone know what newspaper would have circulated in Herne Bay?" This is alleged to have taken place  in about 1920. If however the Margate hard copy dates back to only 1924, and that is the beginning, then that newspaper will not help.
 
Thanks, Toby

Hi Toby

I don't think you will have a lot of luck with the Isle of Thanet Gazette. The Isle of Thanet is only actually Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.

See the following:-
In the Herne Bay area there are four local weekly newspapers: the paid-for Herne Bay Gazette and Herne Bay Times, providing news related only to the town, and the free KM Extra and Canterbury Adscene, providing news on the wider Canterbury district area. The KM Group owns Herne Bay Gazette and KM Extra.
KM in this instance means 'Kent Messenger'

 Regards Lizzielogs


The Herne Bay Library has micro-film of local newspapers  and certainly the Herne Bay Press from about 1880 - 1981. They also have a small selection of directories and other books of local interest.
Toby.
