Aberdeen Journal .. Death Notice / Obituary
« on: Sunday 26 April 15 21:55 BST (UK) »
Greetings

Seeking some assistance?

Does anyone have access to the Aberdeen Journal Newspaper Archives?

My great aunt was Margaret Grassick nee Glennie who died at Kennethmont on 14.02.1906.  She was interred at the Strathdon Kirkyard.  Seeking a Death Notice or Obituary if one was published?

I can see the Aberdeen Journal newspaper for the relevant period on the British Newspaper Archives but do not have access.

Can anyone assist me please?

Any assistance or information would be most appreciated.

Hello New Zealander,
     Couldn't find an obituary and the only Death Notice I found doesn't include funeral arrangements.
    "Aberdeen People's Journal" Saturday 17th February, 1906.
     DEATHS.  GRASSICK -- At Sleepytown, Insch, on the 14th inst., Margaret Glennie, widow of Alexander Grassick, Roughpark, Strathdon, aged 75 years.

     I also found the following link which should take you into a site relevant to Grassick, Strathdon.

               Regards,     Dod.

Dod and Brigau

Much appreciate your interest and time, thank you.

Might have to go into the Aberdeen Library when I am over there in August and see if the notice can be accessed.

Cheers

Alex G :)
