Obituary.


A Reuter telegram from Simla says that COLONEL HENRY LAKE WELLS, C.I.E R.E
director of the Persian Gulf Telegraphs, has died of entoric fever at Karachi. Colonel
Wells was a son of the late Rev. T B Wells, rector of Portlemouth, Devon and was
born in 1850. He entered the corps of Royal Engineers in 1871, and served in the
Afghan war in 1878-80. He raised a corps of Ghilzais, and with them constructed
the road over the Khojak. He was present in several minor engagements, and was
wounded. In acknowledgment of his services he was mentioned in despatches
and received a medal. He was appointed director of the Persian section of the
Indo-European Telegraph Department in 1891.

Hi
Many thanks for your offer. I'm looking for anything on MARK MARKS who hanged himself at home 93 Blackman Street, The Borough, Southwark, London on 10th April 1849 - also if there are any notices of bankruptcy from 1840 onwards, he was a Carver & Gilder working from his home address.

Many Thanks

Annie

Hi,Tracy, I wonder if you could look up Andrew Bogle (1801-1877) who was a key witness in the Tichborne Case, a legal matter which wen t for about 188 days in London in the 1860s. I looked on the Times archive page and searched under his name and there were numerous entries. I wonder if you can tell me what the nature of the references are to Andrew, if there is a lot or just an occasional name mentioned I know there might be a fair bit so it would not be practical for you to copy it. Also, is there anything in those search items also relating to him? I think a lot of them are not. I there is a lot, would it be better for me to get a short subscription to view them? Thankks, regards Sue.
