Hi,

I spoke to someone in the Rotherham Library, with the hope of trying to locate a death write up for two people, but the area i need is not available until Sept, they have moved.
I have tried looking to see if i can locate the info online, but can;t find that paper.
Any advice please !!!!! do i have to wait ??? !!!!!!!!
The people are Edgar MATHER death Sept 1966 - funeral was 28th.
Joyce Violet MATHER death 19th Sept 1980 i think.
The deaths will be in The South Yorkshire Times.

Many thanks
Sally

Yes, I rather fear you will have to be patient

Are you 100% certain that death notices were published?

Marriages Mar 1958 (>99%)

HOLDEN Joyce V MATHER Staincross 2d 1190
MATHER Edgar HOLDEN Staincross 2d 1190

The only birth for Joyce V Holden was in 1933....in Finsbury district

Or have I made a wrong assumption?

Hi Reggie,
Many thanks for your reply.
All info correct apart from the one re Joyce, she was married before Edgar, her maiden name was BAVERSTOCK.
Oh well i will have to wait to get info, i have found Joyce did have a death notice, will dig a little more re Edgar. !!!!

Births Dec 1919 (>99%)
Baverstock Joyce V Andrews Cardiff 11a 879

Marriages Dec 1945 (>99%)
Baverstock Joyce V Holden Eastbourne 2b 222

I wonder why her second name was omitted from the death registration? Seems odd..............
