Is there a 1941 Obituary for Alderman Charles (Charlie) Harris of Redcar, YNR?

Hi Neil,

Checked the Cleveland Standard newspaper from Oct 1st until end of December 1941.
No obituary found.       ( Lot of pages missing from newspaper )
The story ran on Saturday November 1st.  almost word for word as the Echo story.
I will do a search of other papers next week for you. With luck something might turn up.

Eddie.

I suggested to Neil in my email to him (sending the articles I found in the Northern Echo) that the Evening Gazette might be the best one to search.  I'm not going to Middlesbrough Ref Library for a while (where the gazettes are all on microfilm) but I know that that newspaper was and still is the most widely-read one in the Cleveland/Teesside area.  However, I think that during the war the content and therefore pages were considerably reduced owing to staff shortages and possibly obits might not have been done as they had been done before the war.

Good luck Eddie, in your search.  Between us, we'll find whatever there is for Neil

Hi Eddie, Tilly and all Rootschatters viewing this thread

Thank you both for all your help.

I'm very pleased to say that my problem has now been solved thanks to both of you and for the Obituary just found by Tilly in the Northern Echo.

I hope I can help you both in the future to solve an Australian research need. Let me know.

Cheers for now in appreciation, Neil
