Newspaper Lookups Please
« on: Saturday 04 January 14 22:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello! I'm just wondering if I could get some newspaper lookups on these people please. I'd be grateful if they were pm'd to me, as I believe they might contain mention of living people. Any help would be much appreciated.

Horace Reginald Beuth - Death Notice - 2 October 2001. Late of Pinjarra Hills, formerly of Calalmvale. 1st October 2001 - Courier Mail, Brisbane.

John Hedley Grahame - Death Notice - 5 December 2011. Herald Sun, Melbourne - 8 December 2011

Norma Mary Grahame - Death Notice - 9 May 2007. Herald Sun, Melbourne - 11 May 2007 & Funeral Notice 12 May 2007 - same paper

Gerard Isaacs - Death Notice - 24 December 2012. The Western Australian - 27 December 2012 & Gerard Michael Isaacs - Funeral Notice. 4 January 2013. Late of Balcatta. The Western Australian 27 December 2012.
The surnames, which I am interested in are; Maternal side: Ryan, Kevin, Grant, Grady, Gleeson, Walsh, Dwyer, Paternal side: O' Dwyer, Woodlock, Rochford & Britton - all in Tipperary; and Kelly and Hoynes in Laois.

Ryan, Campbell, Luttrell, Grant, Grahame, Bainbridge and Brown in Queensland, Australia

Tighe in Victoria, Australia.

Grant in Philadelphia, Sullivan and Penny in New York; and Britton in Connecticut

Hi Neil - I doubt deaths as recent as 2001 would be on there. I found those deaths on the Ryerson Index.  :)

Sorry meant to put this in as well. Most Newspapers in Australia as are in UK run by large media groups who have their Tributes online as they know they are used in Genealogy research. ;)

Many 'recent' online notices only go back a short while. So. for example,

http://www.west-australian-daily-funeral-and-death-notices.com.au/wa1.html

"Archives
In addition to current Notices, our website has a growing archive of links to Death Notices from the beginning of 2012."

Hi Annie
Wrote this a few minutes ago but it disappeared into the ether, it seems.

I do lookups for Ryerson for the Courier Mail.  But I don't have the issue for 1 Oct 2001 here at home. So have put it on my list for when I go to State Library next which I hope is this Tuesday 7 Jan.

If you don't find the others, pls PM me (or send to my other email add which you should have, still) and I'll see what I can do for those too. 
I doubt that tributes would be online for 2001 or 2007; maybe will be for 2011 and 2012.

Hi

Both the 2007 and 2011 notices for Grahame in the Melbourne Herald Sun are online in full using the link on the earlier post. Quite a few family members are named.
