Death Notice in The Times - James Murray NAPIER
« on: Thursday 09 February 12 22:57 GMT (UK) »
James Murray Napier died on 24 Oct 1987.

I'm hoping some kind soul could look up his death notice, which apparently appeared in The Times of London on 28 Oct 1987.

hello sos

"apparently" always gives me a feeling of doom, i.e there is a build up and then a let down.

having said that, unless someone else beats me to the draw, i will check this out at the newspaper archive.

i am away home in dublin for the next two weeks so it will be the first week in march before i get there.

He's also mentioned in a business article in 1935 but it's way too long to transcribe.  PM me for details.

Tsu, thank you VERY much for this lookup.  I have sent you a PM regarding the 1935 article.

Hi there. My neighbour has discovered a photograph of James Murray Napier and thought you might like a copy(?). All the best. Paul
