Harold Apted
« on: Friday 09 March 07 10:10 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for info. about Harold Apted and his murder of Frances O'Rourke in the Tonbridge area late in the nineteenth century.

I need an exact date for his execution; and would appreciate any references to newspaper articles (title, full date and page number, please).

Thanks.

Bearkat...Yes: I've Googled.  The point was to pinpoint newspaper articles.  I'm trying the Bedfordshire link but have encountered the need to provide bills and what have you...and I live in France.  Not easy!

Thanks all the same.
