Hello im researching my great grandfather Samuel Geoffrey Marks born 1888..... im not sure where he was born but i know he lived and worked in Lydbrook around 1920 to 1931. He worked in the colliery as a timberman in 1925 and also worked as a Bookmakers Agent in Goodrich / Lydbrook until 1931 when he committed suicide. He had two children to a Gertrude Roberts who was a barmaid in a pub in lydbrook.

Does anyone know if the are any archived newspapers from this region ? i maybe able to find more out about him, as the suicide would have been in local press. Im struggling to find anything about him and would appreciate any advice....

Thanks
