Completed: How do I get an obituary from a London newspaper?

[pablo8958]

Hi Mab

Have found obit in Times Online PM me your email and I'll send it to you 

Sarah

Elizabeth Speakman O'Neill was my cousin (2nd or 3rd), and I have been trying to find out more about her and her husband H C O'Neill. Would you be so good as to supply me, too, with the obituary(ies) you have found?
Many thanks.

Hello Paul,

I can send you the obit but you need to post a few more times so I can send a personal message to you. 

I also have an obit for Elizabeth Speakman O'Neill somewhere as well. I'll need to look for it

HC O'Neil is my husband's great grand uncle.

Hello, Mary Ann.
I will just have to try to upload more posts. Perhaps this will count as one?
In fact I also have an obituary for Elizabeth, but I do not know what paper it is from.
It states that her funeral was in Northill, which (as you found out, it seems) is in Bedfordshire.
I also managed to get the Times Obituary of HC O'Neill, and a picture of him from the National Portrait Gallery, which I found by Googling his name.

Hello again, Mary Ann.
As I said in my personal message, I have an obit for Elizabeth Speakman O'Neill. It shows that her funeral was in Northill in Bedfordshire. Strangely HC O'Neill is not listed as one of the mourners. I wonder why?

So you basically have everything I have for HC O'neill with regard to his obit. As I said in my PM I attached them to my tree on Ancestry for you to get.

Elizabeth's obit that I have is from The Times - Monday February 12, 1951. Elizabeth was a writer as well as her husband. If I'm not mistaken so was one of their daughters. It's been awhile since I looked at that part of the family.

As to why HC O'Neill is not at the funeral....I will send you a PM.

Oooh no!
This has been a riveting exchange and has certainly piqued my curiousity in this gentleman.  It was lovely to see how one post has brought an extended and unknown family together. Do I really have to read the book to find out why he didnt attend the funeral?  Either way I'm off to 'google' the gentleman.
Best wishes to all
