Courier Mail Death Look-up September 1995
« on: Monday 06 October 14 05:21 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with a look-up in the Courier Mail, Brisbane, for any Death and Funeral Notices for Robert Hadden who died in Brisbane September 6, 1995 and cremated at Mt Thompson September 8, 1995. Only want to check issues 7th and 8th September 1995.

I would like to get a copy or transcript of the notices and would greatly appreciate any help.

Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed,

The Qld State Library hold the Courier Mail films and if you use the "ask a librarian request form" they might get what you need.  I have been there many times and the staff in that section are very helpful but I can't get there at the present.

According to The Ryerson Index there are no notices for Robert HADDEN ??? 1995 or any year from 1980 to 2010. IN any State.

I could be wrong but looking at Ryerson Index, it appears that the Brisbane Courier Mail hasn't yet been indexed for the year 1995.

Ed most likely already has this info.   :) and so he is looking for the newspaper cuttings.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for your reply. You are right; the Qld State Library is very helpful. In fact I could not believe the extraordinary efforts they made for me a few years ago even tracking down and telephoning several relatives of a person I was researching to get a result …and much to my surprise they did get a result! However, of recent times they refer me to NSW State Library because I live in NSW and that is fair enough – only problem is NSW State Library is quite different! Quite different!

You are correct JM. I always check the Ryerson Index first but of course it does not have many Courier Mail notices. I really do only need the newspaper cutting.
