1950's newspaper?

Post by ninatoo » Mon May 19, 2008 12:32 am

Hi all,

I recently found a double suicide in my family tree from 1956. I was stunned. I don't want to post names as there may well be living relatives who know these people. Is there any way to obtain a newspaper report for this given that I live in Australia? The deaths occurred in Irvine, Ayr. I seem to recall an email address for a library in Ayr, but I have misplaced it.
