Can anyone find a obituary please for 1993 in the USA?
« on: Friday 04 August 23 16:16 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I don't have access to USA newspapers and I was hoping that someone could please look up the obit of Peter John Douglas BERRY (born 1929, UK), who (according to US Social Security records on Ancestry) died 21 July 1998 in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, California, USA.

I would be very grateful for a transcript of any obit you can find.

There is a FIND A GRAVE entry for her youngest sister Mary Elizabeth (Molly) Donnelly Shoemaker which may be of interest to you. It has an extensive bio/obituary.
