Times of London obituary lookup request
« on: Thursday 06 October 16 23:07 BST (UK) »
Hello,

If possible, I have two obituaries that appeared in the Times of London, that I would like a lookup of please. They are:

- Eleanor Maud HAYWARD, nee Baker, obit. published on 29 Mar. 1983, according to Ancestry.com. She died 27 Mar. 1983.

- Douglas MACKILLOP, obit. I think published on 27 Feb. 1959. I found this in Frank C. Roberts book "Obituaries from the Times, 1951-1960": "MacKillop, Douglas–Feb. 27, 12e (59)". Douglas died 25 Feb. 1959.

Thank you,
Craig

The Times, Friday 27 February 1959, p. 12
Mr. Douglas MacKillop, C.M.G., who died in Paris on Wednesday at the age of 67, was British Consul-General in Munich from 1949 to 1951 and British Land Observer, Bavaria, in 1950-51.

(I've sent the 1983 notice by PM, as it contains the names of persons who are probably still living.)
