Title: Minnie Massey died July 1969
Post by: Megran on Wednesday 13 January 16 11:04 GMT (UK)
Recently received new information. Minnie Massey died July 1969, inquest 16th & 24th July. Would there be any details in the newspaper please. Possibly the M/c Evening News also for a death announcement and acknowledgement. Any help much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Megran.

Hi
The only thing I can think of that might help, is if you visit Central Library in Manchester and look through the newspapers on microfiche for that time period. A bit time consuming but maybe worth a shot.  :)

You didn't say that her death was registered in Bury.  Do you have a copy of the coroners report?

Gabbers, Not able to visit the Central Library as I live in Wales. Thank you for your interest. Hoping there may have been a report or notice in the newspaper.
Regards,
Megran.

CaroleW, Thanks for your reply. Minnie Massey (married name) died in Bury Hospital 12th July 1969. Born, married and lived in Manchester.  Death certificate gives the date for the Coroners reports. Will try the Record Office to see if these have survived. Haven't been able to find her burial yet.
Regards,
Megran.
