Newspaper Death Notice/Obituary lookup
« on: Saturday 24 February 24 10:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone

I am hoping someone can assist with this request as I live in the UK. Can anyone do a lookup for the following two deaths notices. They did live in Auckland if that is any help with searching.

Fred Thornley died 14th September 1982
Louisa Eleanor Thornley died 22nd March 1986.

Many thanks in advance.
KK
