England / The most likely 1935 magazine?
« on: Sunday 30 January 11 17:29 GMT (UK) »
My gt gt grandfather, George Frederick Baker (1859 - 1944) was a bit of a character. Known as 'Quark' he lived the last 15 years of his life in a Crofters caravan in a field above the village of Bures Hamlet in Essex.
His occupation was that of a rat-catcher although he undertook any farm labouring jobs on offer. He was abit of a local eccentric, especially known for riding his three wheeled bike.
According to family legend (and this has been varified by three seperate sources), Quark was featured in a national magazine article. Photographs taken of Quark riding his trike were used in the magazine. A few have been uncovered and were found to be dated 1935 on the reverse.
Unfortunately the name of the magazine wasn't noted on the photographs and no one can remember the magazines name either.
Given the above info on my gt gt grandfather and the year of 1935, can anyone suggest what would have been the most likely magazine that the article would have appeared in?
I'm really hoping to find this article / magazine so any help would be gratefully received.
Thank you,
Rob
