	Could anyone point me in the right direction please? There was an article in a Surrey paper about their oldest chimney sweep, which was my grandad Walter Paice. I've search online and on the microfiche at Woking library but no joy. He died in 1951 and can only say a copy was shown to my mum at her mum's funeral in 1977. She wasn't taking much notice at the time, obviously, so couldn't remember which paper. I'd love to track it down. Thanking you
