Newspaper Clippings

This page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wbritonad/cornwall/intro.html is a lot of fun, and actually quite useful. I have, this morning, got more detail on a couple of deaths just by idly searching.

Try it - pop one of 'our' surnames in the search box and see what comes up (but Rouffignac doesn't get any hits, in case that was going to be your first choice).

But some of the news stories are worth chasing down. One I found was about a James DREW (not one on our tree so far that I could detemined) who was murdered during an argument over the matter of intoxicating beverages. (The Wesleyan leanings of a lot of the Drew families comes through fairly strongly in some of the mentions they get.)
