Title: Hendon Newspaper 1990 Death Announcement
Post by: Mborrill on Thursday 20 August 09 07:29 BST (UK)

Dear All

Is there and SKS who has access to archived newspapers which cover the Hendon area?

I am trying to ascertain if a death announcement and/or a funeral notice was placed for the following person William [Alexander] HENDRY who died on the 5th July 1990 at Edgware General Hospital he lived at 10 Wendover Lodge, Marriotts Close West Hendon.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request

I have heard back from Barnet Archives, they hold the newspapers but are unable to look up my request on my behalf. Is there and SKS who would be able to do a look up for me, when they visit to do their own research? I will reimburse any photocopying charges incurred.
