Hence why now when I still go to record offices I check beforehand what newspapers for the county are already online, and/or what dates they cover. If I know some dates are not covered, I know which years to check.
For instance I checked a January 1959 newspaper on microfiche at Southend to look for my great grandfather's obituary to see if he was mentioned. He was, as was the date of his funeral and time of funeral. I felt like I had won the jackpot as I had been trying to find date of burial for him. 3rd January 1959, as he died 30th December 1958. It said his funeral is Saturday 3rd Jan at 11:30am, and it was from the 1st January 1959 edition of the newspaper.
The burial registers online for the parish he died in only go up to 1948 and I emailed the relevant church and got no reply when I asked for a 1953 and a 1959 burial, and I even offered to pay if need be.
