Can anyone find an obituary following the death on 23 Jul 1950 of Flora Helen Shrubsall?
I would like to confirm the place of death which is likely to be in Lower Hutt.
Flora was born in 1892 in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Hi
I have used the 'Ask a Librarian' service for both death notices and obituaries. The service is fantastic. I used the link on the Christchurch Library but here is the link (I hope) for the National library. I gave them the basic details and requested any notices. It was a pretty quick service

I don't know if libraries are open in NZ yet.
Perhaps a NZ rootschatter can help as there may be other ways to access this information.
Regards

Many thanks minniehaha. Her husband William Henry Shrubsall died on 31 Aug 1959 in London, but there may have been an obituary published in NZ. Can you find it?

Hello,
No, it won't be in Papers Past as they have not been digitised to that year. There is a probated will for William in Familysearch. It appears he remarried.
