Hi Mary You probably didn't get a reply as no one found anything of help to you There are far fewer resources online for the last 50 or so years than before that so you tend to get less in the way of response Plus we are into the recent past and people are reluctant (and rightly so) to talk about people who could still be around As you know they passed away in 2003 & 2005, have you checked for a will for either? Obituaries are very few and far between unless they did something rather unusual Even death notices are far fewer than they once were perhaps due to the cost but also due to the ease at which news is passed around a family and friends these days Unless you get a response from your post re the papers, I would think the will(s) would be worth trying for, at £6 per will its a reasonable gamble Also just a suggestion but do put the surnames in capitals, it does make it stand out and easier to tell the surname from any other name, I read your subject line initially as Albert HENRY & Marjorie SMITH It can lead to wasted effort Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 05/07/2013 15:34, Mary Newbery wrote: > Dear Listers, > My recent query regarding this couple met with no response.
