I have a rellie who was listed as a journalist on several censuses and was also an author. He died on 22 Jan 1926 in Rochford registration district. Does anyone know where I might find any information about what books he had published, or what newspaper he worked for, please? His name was William Henry Moyes and he was born in 1856 in Salisbury. Thanks Maggie

Maggie, did a quick google search of his name and it shows him under authors that died on 22 Jan, there is a link to see what the authors on the list published. Enda

Never thought of the British Library! Thanks Zoe. He didn't exactly write light reading, did he?
