HELP!! with an obit
« on: Saturday 17 June 06 09:21 BST (UK) »
Hello, can anyone help with an obit for me my great great aunt died  on 3rd or 4th OCT 1950 at Woodcote Oxon. and is buried at Goring upon Thames Church Oxon, her name was Amelia Wilson. She was the headmistress of Upper Basildon school near Pangbourne from 1895 --1925 or 1928 I lose track of her for  about 15 years but  in 1939 she is living with her neice , and her neice's husband at" Capilano Farm" Woodcote.
I am sure they would have done an obit, I really would appreciate any help with this and I know from past requests , if you really need help the people on Rootschat  are second to none.

Hope someone can help    Ken

I suspect you might get more if you ask on the Oxfordshire Rootsweb list - a lot more people wil read it and at least one spends a day a week in the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies doing lookups like this if they catch his fancy.
