Sydney Morning Herald death notices
« on: Wednesday 05 July 23 08:22 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone
Has anyone access to the Sydney Morning Herald dated 2nd August 1997?  I am trying to access a notice for Elizabeth Marion Madgwick who died 31st July 1997.
Many thanks for reading my query.
Kind regards
Stuart McDonald, York, Western Australia.

Sadly there is a gap between 1995 and 2006 for the SMH which is not covered by the ereources of the Australian National Library, so I can't help.

newspapers.com does have what you want - you could try their free trial, or wait and see if someone else comes along who can help.

Thanks for the heads-up, if all else fails I could always make a trip to my nearest State Library ;D
