Have you also checked the probate index as a will/admin is reasonably cheap nowadays. Unfortunately the more recent indexes don't give much information

To echo what Rosie said, the cost of announcing a death in the local paper can be well into the £100's.

So most of us don't bother.

You could try here though,just incase https://www.legacy.com/uk/

It costs £28.20 + VAT per line to put an announcement in the Daily Telegraph on-line and paper edition - local papers less I would imagine.

Online only is £30 + VAT per announcement, a lot cheaper.

Not yet found a local price list - just was interested to know.  I could phone, but my husband might get worried as to why I am so doing.

Thank you everyone for your replies while i was sleeping. I will try your suggestions first.
 
Are there any cemetery MI's on line for that area ?

With wills as cheap as they are i will take a punt on the one i have found.
This was how i have a date of death if indeed i am chasing the right person.

Many Thanks

Carol

In New Zealand the funeral home normally put the add in the paper when the Funeral is organised.

Than it is up to other family member's to do so if the wish. But still not cheap.

Have checked the 2 site's you suggested. Plenty with surname but not right first name.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Going to order the will and see if it is the correct man.
