Look up request Huddersfield Daily Examiner

[Shazbaz]

Hello

I wondered if someone could please access the Huddersfield Daily Examiner from the 31st of December 1985 to send me a copy of my grandfather's death notice? I have been told that if this contains his birth and death date I can use this to apply for his service records instead of needing to obtain his death certificate.
If anyone is able to access this for me I can send you the details of the notice I am looking for.
Thank you for reading my request 😊

If you have never signed up to it before, you get three free looks, so you should be able to get it without paying anything.

Hello

Unfortunately, I used up the free goes trying to work out how to use the site, I was hoping someone may have another way to obtain it, if not I will look at the subscriptions.

Thank you for your help

I've had a look at the "hatch, match and despatch" column for the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 31 Dec 1985.
Cannot see a "despatch" notice that includes a date of birth - all show age at death. Date of death appears to be present for all notices.
Date of birth normally associated with obituaries - not death notices.

If he died in 1985 his death reg should show his full birthdate so no need to buy the death cert

What was his name?

I searched BNA without knowing name but when "revisiting" post up popped details. I'd hit the duplicate post - confusing.

The widow named in obit on duplicate post matches a 1945 marriage in Huddersfield.  However - neither the marriage or obit mention a middle name
