Dear Carol,
The Library in Newtown have local newspapers going back to about 1880, so
almost certainly Percy's deah would be recorded and possibly an article on
the unusual nature of it as well. Contact details are as follows
Library
Park Street, Newtown
(01686) 626934
newtown.library(a)powys.gov.uk
I hope that helps
Alun Evans
