obits from the 1970's in Alloa
« on: Monday 12 September 11 23:56 BST (UK) »
Are there any newspapers in Alloa that have obits from the 1970's online? I'm trying to trace a cousin who died there in the 1970's but I'm not sure of the exact year
Thanks, Nan

Have you checked Scotlands People?

Yes I have tried Scotlands People but had no luck. I knew her as Robena Marshall. Maybe she had another first name - not sure. She lived with her aunt Catherine Allan on Greenfield Street in Alloa. Catherine died in May of 1957 but I wrote to Robena for years at the Greenfield address. I think she died about 1974 or 1975. She was likely in her late 60's or early 70's.

Thanks bleckie,
I'll have another look at SP. That should be her although I didn't think she was that old. Then again we never met. She lived in Scotland and I in Canada.
