[wb54]

  Hi everyone,
                    Could someone please do a look up for a death notice on
                     Alexander Davidson, died 1984 King’s Lynn.

                     Found this info on free/bmd, which give me his birth.
                     Alexander was born in Belfast 1914, a uncle to my mother.

                     In a death notice Belfast Telegraph 1966, for his sister which
                     gives  “ Brother Alex & Evelyn, plus daughter’s first name.
                      King’s Lynn, Norfolk “.

                      Any help on this or any thing else would be great.
                      Many thanks for any help.

                       Billy.

Cannot see a death notice on F M P newspapers.  Have you looked for a will?

You can search for yourself in the British newspaper archives and have about 3 free looks before you need to pay.  You can do a general search just to see what newspapers are available for 1984.  Do not think Norfolk is represented.

Consider looking for local archives online?

 Hi chempat,

                 Thanks for your link, will give it a go today.
                 Have just been putting names down on google
                 found a death notice for Alexander’s wife who
                 died 2018. King’s Lynn.

                Name was Edith ( Evelyn the one I had ) also
                 daughter and family. 

                Putting the tea on and pen and paper at the ready.
                Thank you very much.

                  Billy.

The Lynn News and Advertiser would be the local newspaper you need to look at. I know they have copies at the Kings Lynn library ( having used their film reading machines several times to access the information I was looking for ) although I am unsure exactly what periods of time are covered.

Unfortunately the local library has recently shut, so it will probably be a wait until it re-opens to access the information you need or even make an enquiry directly to the library.

Hope this helps

    Hi Steve c & Chempat,
               
                         Thanks Steve for your help, our archives here in Shrewsbury
                          is Wed,Thur, Fri but everything shut on Tuesday.
                          Will just have to sit and wait.

                         Just an update on what was found about Alexander.
                         Legacy.com
                         Death notice for Edith 28 February 2018, and where
                         the service was.  St Nicholas Church, Gayton.
                         Lots of information.
                         Did a search of the church which give me some links.

                         Gravestone photos. Com
                         A photo of Alexander’s headstone,  ( they will send better photo, free )
                         Just make out the date  ?? May 1984.   At least I have a month.

                        Once I can put everything together, my uncle will be very surprised
                        he has a cousin in Norfolk.

                        Thank you both for your time and help.

                             Billy.
