Death 1897 in Bagneres-de-Bigorre, Hautes-Pyrenees
« on: Tuesday 06 July 21 13:56 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
Looking for advice on obtaining a copy of a death entry in the Hautes-Pyrenees in 1897. Have obtained many others from online French departmental archives but as far as I can see this one falls just outside what the department has digitised.

The death was of one Alicia Eleanor BRADSTREET who died in Bagneres-de-Bigorre on 11 Jan 1897 (according to her probate). The Bagneres deaths are online down to 1892 but not beyond. The department doesn't seem to field genealogical enquiries.

Are these perhaps online where I haven't found them? If not would anyone be able to look at this for me or perhaps recommend a researcher who could obtain a copy?

Thanks, Roger

I cannot help specifically, but why not email the departement directly with your query?
It would be a zero cost option to try before splashing out on a researcher!

You could try making an online request here :

Not sure if they send abroad though.  It's a free service so worth an attempt.

Thanks very much for that jayaygee.  That looks promising.  I do have some connections in other parts of France who'd be prepared to request it from there for me so that may be a viable route.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the inputs joger. 

Yes, the name stands out in the south of France and have previously readily obtained other original entries of interest online.  This death is outstanding being a date not covered.  Actually I'm seeking the death entry more for its birth details than the death where I have the essential details from the probate.

Do you know how old she was when she died?
