Completed: Newcastle library Newspaper look up please
« on: Sunday 07 December 14 11:36 GMT (UK) »
If anyone is going to the library and has the time, please could I have a look up in the Chronicle for a death notice in October 1970.
The (unverified) info I have found is that Elizabeth HENRY died 14th Oct 1970, so any notice would have (I guess) soon after that.
Her death was registered in Newcastle Registration District in Q4 1970, and she would have been about 76. She may well have lived in Gateshead and there is an outside chance that she was also known by the name Lily.

Thanks

Boo

Oh thank you Lady Nicotine!
That was really kind of you to take the time to look for me and its VERY much appreciated.
It matches with what I know about this family and confirms the first child as William which is great.
Still don't know if she was ever known to the family as "Lily" (which is what I am attempting to confirm to match with a possible passenger listing to Canada) but the other details are just super.

Boo

Thanks Barry, nice of you to look, I already have the details of her marriage and the two daughters mentioned in the announcement and another daughter who was born and died too soon. I still need to verify the son's birth (I believe he may have been born in Canada)
