Thank you pb-devon and Svenja for those. I have already searched English papers without any success. I can find nothing apart from probate details. She is not a relative but the daughter of an Irish family that interests me.
I found a little in scriptorium.bcu-lausanne.ch re Mary Balfour Herbert, her mother, but no mention can I find of Blanche. Thank you both
My hope was in finding a gravestone until I learned of the Swiss custom. She had no close family so there would be no one to maintain the grave maybe.

Hello
I have only seen probate details of her will. She died without close living relations and no trace of burial in England or Ireland. But I have just read that graves in Switzerland are only rented for 25 years because of land shortage and then the plot is reused. So maybe it is a hopeless chase.

Hello
I wonder if anyone can tell me where to start on finding the grave of Blanche Herbert who died 12 December 1920 at the Hotel Belvedere, Locarno? She was born in Ireland, lived in England and travelled a few times to Switzerland. Thanks.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Clara Buckle born 1867 Barnsley -1871 census?
« on: Sunday 17 April 16 16:20 BST (UK) »
Is this newspaper find relevant? Both the names you queried and same marriage date.
Huddersfield Chronicle 4 April 1885
"On 28th ult. at Register Office Mr William Broadhead to Miss Clara Buckle both of Wooldale"
I guess it could be a second marriage for William. A William Broadhead of Wooldale was also at that time a Poor Law Guardian and grocer. Do you have a death for William Broadhead? A WB, greengrocer of nearby Cockley Hill, Dalton, was killed in a road accident 1894.

Hello
Had a good look through old newspapers. Plenty of articles on Coolgreany evictions but none mentioning Roche. Would the shooting be the murder of John Kinsella, an evicted farmer? A monument was erected to him in Kilninor Churchyard. I downloaded some articles so pm me if you would like a copy.

Thomas Traynor's last words were
"Fight on - not for vengeance but for freedom."
