Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: 1969 Obituary Bournemouth - MITCHELL, Roy de-lorraine

JJ,
Thank you. Did you get the newspaper article from a free website? I have ancestry but not finding much for Newspapers. Mind you, I didn't try London papers.

The area used to be Hants. In 1974, there was a reorganization of local government and that area became part of Dorset.

Thank you JJ.
And I have just received a copy of Roy's will which doesn't give much info about his family but does confirm he was the owner of Mitchell's Estate Agents.

Still looking for an obituary or info about children.

Thank you. I've sent an e-mail, with no response yet. I've also emailed the Hampshire Archives with no response as yet.

Hello,
I live in Canada and am having a difficult time finding an obituary for Dora Maretta Norris Mitchell who died in a nursing home in Swainswick Gardens, Bath, in Sept 1995. She was 80 years old and died intestate, so not much info there.  Her usual residence was Frampton Cotterell, Avon.

I’d be very grateful if some kind person could either look up a copy for me or give me an idea of a resource to contact.

Thank you

Hello,
I live in Canada and having a difficult time finding an obituary for Roy de-Lorraine Mitchell who died in Bournemouth in June 1969. Roy was an estate agent who owned Mitchell Estate Agents in Highcliffe. His will finally arrived this week but it was very short and did not give much information.

I’d be very grateful if some kind person could either look up a copy for me or give me an idea of a resource to contact.

Thank you

Hello,
Dora Maretta Mitchell died 1995 in a nursing home in Larkhall Springs, Bath. Her address on DC was Frampton Cotterell, Avon. (Which is now part of Bristol)
Perhaps because it is so recent, I am not able to discover, online, whether she left a will, and if so, where to find a copy.
Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks

Thanks Richard,
I'll contact them. Perhaps an old-timer will remember the family. In the meantime, I've ordered Roy's wife's 1995 DC. Hopefully, one of the children was the informant.

Oops, I need to edit this post to remove reference to possibly living people. But still would like to know if my Roy Mitchell, who died 1969 in Bournemouth was the founder of Mitchell Estate Agents.
Thanks,
