Title: death notice lookup - completed with thanks
Post by: maddys52 on Wednesday 03 August 22 10:42 BST (UK)

Hello, Is it please possible to look up a death notice in the Herald Sun (Melbourne) on 12 July 2010? The name is Winifred Doreen (Wyn) STEPHENS - Ryerson also has it listed under EGAN. Or could some one kindly point me to where I may be able to find a copy? (I only have access to The Age.)

Many thanks

Oh thanks Neale, yes that's the one. I'm obviously not on the ball tonight, should have tried googling the Herald Sun - too simple!  :-[

Thanks Jamjar, unfortunately she's not the lady I'm looking for.

I'm trying to find what happened to my grandmother's cousin Winifred HARRISON, born 1905 West Ham, parents Lancelot and Edith Mary (nee SUTTON). After Lancelot died the family moved to Sydney in 1913. I have a photo from my grandparent's collection labelled "Wyn Egan" so was investigating whether this may have been her.
