Ireland / William James Phelan a newspaper reporter
« on: Wednesday 12 July 17 18:23 BST (UK)  »
I believe my great grandfather William James Phelan (born 1848 possibly in Cork or Limerick) was a young reporter with the Nation newspaper, probably from about 1865 before going to Natal, South Africa and continuing as a reporter and later a fiery Editor there. He died in 1886. Does anyone have any suggestions as to sources where I might look for background information on him as an apprentice reporter in Ireland please?
