Is anyone able to access the newspaper archives for the Chepstow area 1962?

Specifically seeking a story relating to the death of a 9 year old called Gary David Jenkins.

Death registered 1962 Mommouth J/A/S Vol 8C Page 110

Many thanks

Try contacting the local paper for the area.

As you have a reasonable amount of info, they may be able (and willing) to search their archives.

I recently contacted a paper in Blackpool concerning a report of an accidental death, and they e-mailed me a scan of the article within a couple of days
