Thanks. God knows how, but I've managed to find some myself anyway (and his wife). Has anyone ever ordered something from the national archives and can approximate the cost?  Wouldn't be more than £20 would it?

The flying of the Grantham borough flag at half-mast over the Guildhall to-day was the first intimation that many Grantham people had of the passing of the "father" of the Town Council, Ald. Theophilus Rowle, J.P.
Ald. Rowle, who had been more or less an invalid for some years, suffering particularly from chronic asthma went to Lochern Head, Scotland, on August 7th, for a holiday. Four days later he had a heart attack, and he died at Lochern last night, age 77.......

From the Nottingham Evening Post, 17 August 1935, with photograph.

He's in the front row of a group photo in the Grantham Journal, 15 June 1935
"Leaders of the Town's Affairs"

And there he is in another group photo in the Grantham Journal, 20 January 1934
"Grantham King's School; Opening of New Workshop"
