1949 Obituary
« on: Monday 01 December 14 19:54 GMT (UK) »
I have a FindMyPast subscription and have been trying to find an obituary of Annie Beadon Matthews who died in 1949 but have had no luck. Is it possible that the British newspaper archive will have it?  I have a copy of her death certificate but am interested in an obituary to see who attended the funeral. Annie was living at Newlyn, Penzance.

Hi MaryAnne
The British newspaper archive is available through FindMyPast, but I couldn't see her. There is an Annie Jane Matthews whose death was reported in December 1949 in Penzance, I don't think this one is yours.  :(

Thank-you fizzix.  I looked at the name on FindMyPast after your post and it isn't Annie Beadon Matthews.
Annie Beadon never married.
