Hi Laurie, Try this site, there were several William Denny's that came up. Good Luck! At this site, you can type in a deceased person's name and read the obituary. It claims to be the world's largest repository of obituaries and death records, with more than 57 million individual entries. Most of the information appears to be taken from Social Security records. You can search by hometown, too. TO VISIT THIS SITE, GO HERE: http://www.nationalobituaryarchive.com/
