Dear Gemma

I would imagine it would be the Bolton News (formerly the Bolton Evening News. There is a website for the paper at www.theboltonnews.co.uk.

They do a great Looking Back feature where they publish old photos and articles.

Thank you for your reply Maria much appreciated.

I really think it will be in a "Farnworth Newspaper".

Can anyone else help please??

Dear Gemma

Farnworth is a district of Bolton and the Bolton News has been the paper for the town of Bolton since 1867.

If you contact the Bolton News they will search the archive for you.

Hi Maria,

I should have told you in my last post that I had contacted the "Bolton News" and there is know record in the achives of my obituary newspaper cutting. 

I need the name of any Farnworth paper that was being published in the 1930's...thanks.

Maybe I should try the "Farnworth Library"...never done this before...oh well always a first time...

Thanks again Maria

Found...

I contacted the "Farnworth Library" and with in 24 hours they had sent me the information I was looking for.

The Obituary was printed in the "Farnworth Journal" the 4th September 1931.

Thank you every one for your help.
