Newspaper Obituary - Assistance

Post by Sinclair » Wed Jan 09, 2008 3:39 am

I am interested in locating an obituary for Helen/Ellen Smith, ms Johnston who died April 5 1945 at Glaisters, Kirkgunzeon but whose usual place of residence was in Dumfries. Not sure of publications I should be tracking down or place they maybe archived as I am on the wrong side of the pond!

Thanks for advice,

Julie

Hello Julie,

Someone will turn up with some information for you but in the meantime you’ll get some clues from this Dumfries and Galloway Council site.

All the best,

Hi Julie, I had a look for this today and I have found it. If you pm your email address I will scan and send it when I get home from work.
