Frank Danvers/Evans swanse death
« on: Sunday 26 June 11 17:18 BST (UK) »
Hi im hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction,  im looking for an obituary in the newspaper,presumbly a swansea newspaper for the suicide of:

a Frank Danvers also known as Frank Evans, he was a cinema manager died in 1914 after killing himself,
ive found the death record on ancestry  but i wanted to read the obit as it seems to tie in a possible relative in my tree under another name ( he was an actor) so im guessing the Frank danvers/evans is a stage name
many thanks to who ever can help me.

If you can narrow down the date to a month I'll have a look for you, but I can't search the whole of 1914 for a report.

Purely by chance I've stumbled across an account of his body being found. In the Cambrian. If you need it, let me know.
