In response to your PM Lisa -
Getting there slowly!
From the Lancaster Guardian microfilms in the library:
15th October 1948In the Death notices
'AIREY October 10th at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Clara age 69, beloved wife of Daniel Airey'
and small article in same paper
'Death Follows Fall. A few days after being admitted to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary with a fractured femur, Mrs Clara Airey (69) of Eastham St died on Sunday. The injuries were sustained when she tripped over a carpet and fell in the kitchen at her home'
29th October 1948In the Death notices
'AIREY On October 24th, suddenly, Daniel Airey of 22 Eastham St, aged 63 years. "Re-united" '
No details of funeral unfortunately. I did check the acknowledgements for the next week but nothing.
But now we have dates I can email the cemeteries department on Monday and see if they have anything in the council cemetery records. they'll be closed for the weekend now.
