Greenock Cemetery Accident 1980's
« on: Saturday 03 July 10 18:35 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find a newspaper report from the 1980's.  It was reported in the Greenock local newspapers etc., and was concerning a piece possibly entitled 'Pensioner knocked down next to Cemetery gates!'

The pensioner was named Mr Donald Ross of Greenock.  I'm trying to get hold of a copy of the newspaper article for family history purposes.

Can anybody please advise me where I can obtain a copy of the page containing the story.  Kind regards
