Obituary request – Roy Mitchell d. Jun 1969, Bournemouth

[bjmacwill]

Hello,
I live in Canada and having a difficult time finding an obituary for Roy de-Lorraine Mitchell who died in Bournemouth in June 1969. Roy was an estate agent who owned Mitchell Estate Agents in Highcliffe. His will finally arrived this week but it was very short and did not give much information.

I’d be very grateful if some kind person could either look up a copy for me or give me an idea of a resource to contact.

Thank you
Barb, in BC, Canada

Thank you. I've sent an e-mail, with no response yet. I've also emailed the Hampshire Archives with no response as yet.

There is always the chance that there was no obituary.

By the time your relative died, this practice was becomming less and less used.

These days most local papers will have only 1 or 2 and a couple of anniversay obits.
