Newcastle Local Studies newspaper look up

[Tickettyboo]

If anyone is visiting the Local Studies dept at Newcastle Library and has some of that magic 'spare time', please would you do me a favour and look in the Evening Chronicle for a death notice?

I am looking for a notice for Surname QUARRIE.
not entirely sure but I believe she was a nun who had taught at La Sagesse, Jesmond for many years.

Her birth name was Annie Ellen Quarrie and her religious name was Sister Marguerite Marie/Margaret Mary. She died on 11th May 1999 so any notice would be a couple of days or so after that.

Online notices I have seen in earlier years for other nuns at this convent have death notices using their birth surname and give their birth forename and religious name so I am hoping there is one for this lady that either proves or disproves my theory.

thanks

Hi Boo

I found one published on Friday 14th May, which I took a photo of (didn't have a pen on me!). I was going to add it as an attachment, but can't figure out how to do that so this is me copying the text from the photo and pasting it in!

If that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll transcribe it for you.
