Newspaper Archive library look up please.
« on: Saturday 27 August 16 22:08 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find details of a death in Hampshire 1962. Due to nature of death I feel sure it would have made at least the local papers.

I am unable to visit library and have tried online archives with no luck. I have so tried every search I can on google, name, date, location got a big fat zero.

Would be thrilled and grateful if anyone could help.

Have you contacted Hampshire Archives and requested a free search to see if they have newspapers or a quote for their paid research service?

Thanks Carol and Dawn. No I hadn't thought of any of those options, what a dummy. I only discovered the details of death this afternoon and have not thought anything through logically. Your suggestion is good Dawn will try that.

The gentleman in Question is John Greest husband of grandads sister.  I posted o Sussex board in hope of finding  relative who may know about death. From probate info found out he was found dead on Southsea beach. Then I posted here.

Would love to find out more.
