Newspapers
[edit]Search of Irish newspapers of the time show several hits for 1887, majority relating to the estate appearing in August 1887, and one relating to his becoming ill (Freemans Journal 1763-1924, Thursday, May 19, 1887; Page: 7). I didn't find an obituary though the OCR o the papers and the search results are variable. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:57, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
