Can't find funeral report
« on: Wednesday 03 September 25 14:16 BST (UK) »
   I think I am going mad - I read a funeral report a couple of days ago in the newspapers online and now I can't find it.
   Cecil William Edward Miller, died 5th April 1941, buried Barham Kent. He was with a searchlight regiment, presumably stationed nearby. I know where the grave is, but just want to re-read the funeral report.

How did you find the newspaper report? (I’ve been searching at BNA without success.)

  I have Kent newspapers selected on FindMyPast.

If you found it on FindMyPast then you should be able to retrieve it via the ‘My Records’ tab.

  I only seem to have corrections under My Records. I don't think I am a very sophisticated user.

I think the My records page on FindMyPast could be misleading, looking at mine it has at the top of the page My Records on the left and My Corrections on the right.   It opens up as My records and you have to select My Corrections, is yours different to this  :-\

  It does appear to be somewhat different.
