Obituaries Greymouth - 1919
« on: Monday 20 February 06 11:19 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Can anyone help me with a source for finding obituary notices for Greymouth?  I am looking for an obit for one of my ancestors, William Stewart Hanna who died in Greymouth in 1991.

Can you advise whether there are any indices for these and whether it is possible to request research if you can't get to Greymouth?

Many thanks
KESTON.

Hi Keston,

See the post above "Some resources for genealogists..." and look for Greymouth Museum. They should be able to help, but if not, try the Hokitika Museum instead. Both are likely to carry our research on your behalf: I know the latter does.
