looking for an obituary 1942
« on: Monday 08 May 17 04:27 BST (UK) »
is anyone able to look up an old News paper for an obituary for Dec 1942 . do not know the exact day
I am now down to my last straw to try and find where my grandmother was buried. All I can get is Dec 1942 in the Droxford area it is for a Mary E Limming  wife of John .
I have done cemetery checks to no avail.  So I am hoping that an obituary in a paper if there is one can tell me where she is buried.
She was married before under Birch and thought she may  of been put with her first husband in the Milton cemetery in Portsmouth but have made enquires and not there so has to be somewhere in Hampshire .
Fingers crossed at long last  I may  find her. ???

Hi Paco

why don't you post the reply openly as well (being careful with names of potentially living people) so we can all see what has been found and where?
