I'm just looking for 2 death notices
I do have access to newspapers online but they don't cover the 2 years I need.
The first is Ann Crammond Smith dies 14th Jan 1936 North Shields and her son James Thomas Tabbnor Smith dies 30th April 1966 North Shields
Many Thanks

No problem, I will look this up for you soon, fitting in with my shifts. Likely in the next couple of weeks if you don't mind the wait?

James Thomas Tabnor Smith's death notice is in the newspapers which are online:
Newcastle Evening Chronicle 2nd May 1966
page 9 col 2

I can only access the Shields paper at North Shields Local Studies. I can't access the Evening Chronicle because Newcastle is still closed to the public - but did you know they (Newcastle) are doing free look ups online? See my post:

The North Shields Local Studies has the Crematorium records. 1959-1995 I could check out these next time I can go.

Its a shame there are annoying 1 or 2 year gaps in the North Shields newspapers online makes me think they don't have them at the British library

Tynemouth Crematorium full Book of Remembrance is now online (not just those few months on the site I posted)

RTL has just said records held are from 1959
I can see in the old newspapers that the plans were passed in 1955, so I imagine that 1959 was the first year it was operational.

Hi Jakpeter,
I was able to get along to the North Shields local studies today. I found both had notices in the Shields Daily News. Ann was even listed in the card index boxes for notices (I have been given permission to attach - sorry it has gone on side ways).
SDN - 15 January 1936
'SMITH.- At 14 Wallsend Road on 14th January, aged 73 years, Ann Crammond late of Newcastle Arms, beloved wife of the late John Tom Smith. Interment Preston Cemetery Friday, leaving residence 2.30 p.m. All friends kindly invited. R.I.P.'
SDN.- Friday 6 May 1966
'SMITH.- North Shields, 153 Regent Terrace, on April 30 (suddenly), aged 82 years, James Thomas Tabbnor, dearly beloved husband of the late Thomasina Smith. Was cremated Tuesday May 3rd.'
I tried looking for the cremation record but unfortunately the local studies only has these records on microfilm from the 1970s.
