Death Near Court Room Corwen 1858
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 14:55 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have my 2nd ggrandfather's death certificate that states he died Near Court Room Corwen on 5th June 1858. His name was Ebenezer Parry and the informant of the death was a Jane Roberts of Penrhos Gwyddelwen. I don't know who she was or why he died near the Court Room. The certificate says the cause of death was consumption. Does anyone know if there is a newspaper that may have reported the death and if so how I might access it?

The North Wales Chronicle (Bangor, Wales), Saturday, June 12, 1858; Issue 1636, reports:

Deaths

On the 5th inst., at Corwen, aged 51, Mr. Ebenezer Parry, shoemaker


I could find no further mention in the Chronicle or Baner Cymru which is the only other
North Wales newspaper of the time (1858) available via the Athens subscription.

The 'Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald' is another possibility, but that, as far as I know,
is only available on microfilm.

Thank you Graff. Maybe I thought the death was more 'exciting' than the certificate indicated. I just thought it was odd that his death was reported by someone other than his wife or children.I am going to the newspaper archives at Colindale on Friday so may see if they have the other newpaper you mention.I suspect they won't but I can only try.
