Hi Nigel

If you use social media, there is a group on Facebook called 'Heckington Past' I'm fairly sure people on there would love to see your photograph.

I think sometimes it may vary from place to place, depending on where they have space to store them?
I vaguely remember needing a marriage record checked for Blackpool district, and I was passed around a few areas/offices before they were located.

These are all the areas in the Claro RD

With so little info you would probably be quicker buying a copy of the death cert.   Have you googled the name just in case anything comes up? 

Although cremation was more prevalent in the 1970's - have you checked findagrave just in case they were buried?

Hi, thanks for replying.

I've seen the list of places, it seems quite a large area!
It's a very common name unfortunately.
I've checked Find A Grave.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Family notices, 1970's newspapers and Claro Registration district?
« on: Monday 21 November 22 20:13 GMT (UK)  »
I need to like to find out if there was a death notice/obituary for a person (they may be a close relative but I need more information).

Their death was registered 1974 in the Claro Registration District.
There is no corresponding probate record to give a clue as to where in Claro the person lived.
I don't have the death certificate - if I need to I will get it in the future, funds allowing.
The British Newspaper Archive does not seem to cover that period/area - please tell me if I'm wrong.

I'm not familiar with the Yorkshire districts. I looked up where Claro is, and was thinking if someones death was registered in the Claro area, and there was a death notice, it must have been in a Harrogate newspaper. I've been looking what archives and library is in Harrogate to try to see what 1970's newspapers they have that had family notices. I couldn't find anything on their website, so was going to email them...
But from what I've just read on Rootschat about Claro reg dist, it includes many different towns, that probably had their own newspapers?

Please can anyone tell me, were there any newspapers that had family notices/obituaries, that covered the entire Claro area?
For the period to cover 1974?
Do you know if/where there is public access to it?

I'm not at all local, so sadly I can't pop into all the libraries and trawl through everything they have to offer for that period. (If I need to visit it would need to be targeted to one location and short time period)

All info and suggestions welcome! Thank you.

If I transcribed the information to store or share, I think that would be okay?

What if I retained the information to offer to do look-ups for a given place and name?

I appreciate your help.

Thank you for all the replies.

The are photos not scans. No retouching, but objects used as paperweights would make it easy to identify the pictures as being the same ones.
