Title: recent Bristol obituaries
Post by: chbeacham on Wednesday 11 February 09 00:30 GMT (UK)

I live in the United States.  How can I get obituaries from recent deaths of my relatives (I presume from Bristol newspapers)?

I have in mind:

Clifford H BEACHAM, died October 5, 2002, lived at 8 Acramans Rd., Southville, Bristol,
his older sisters Vera Maud BEACHAM died Bristol age 76 in August 1997 &
Glenis Annie BEACHAM died  in Bristol age 80 in ~Sep 2001.

Alan Christopher BATES, died November 5, 2002, Bristol
his father Leonard Winston BATES, died Bristol January 1986
his mother Gwendoline Elizabeth Timbury BATES, died Bristol ~September 2003.

William Henry WEBER, died in Bristol ~September 2001, age 77 and his brother
Reginald Alfred WEBER, died in Bristol ~June 2002, age 81

Thank you

Charles Beacham

Hi Charles

You may be able to obtain copies direct from the local newspaper. Try contacting them through their web site www.thisisbristol.co.uk.

Alternatively , the Central library may hold copies of the papers, I know they have the old ones on microfilm. Try emailing them via www.bristol.gov.uk and search for central library.

Hope this helps
