Death Notice Lookup - British Newspaper Archives

Recommended Posts

Hello ,

 

I am in need of some assistance from a member with access to the British Newspaper Archives. Specifically, I am seeking reprints of 2 death notices for WILLIAM ALLEN (died 21 July 1886 in California) published in UK newspapers:

 

* Morning Post, London, Tuesday, 27 July 1886. Article, page 1.

* Bath Chronicle & Weekly Gazette, Thursday, 29 July 1886, page 5, Family Notices.

 

Please respond to me at <email address removed>

 

Thanks for helping me on this. It is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Paul

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time. I have finished writing my book about an old Prescot family  - actually working on the footnotes and have hit a snag. I saw somewhere that Joseph Allen, 1787-1845, was a "manufacturer." He died in Gateacre, Little Woolton. For the life of me, I cannot retrieve the source.

Will someone please help?

Thank you,

Paul Rollins

Atlanta, Georgia
