	I'm afraid this is a trawl through the BMD's 1/4 by 1/4 for each year to find these deaths, bearing in mind that if Alfred died young, Maud could have remarried.

	What do you say Ozi? I reckon 5 or 6 hours work.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	Bummer! Any children? Ozi. Re the work, Claire, easy 5 hrs. If Linda is already going through she'll know it takes forever. Linda - have you tried local newspaper articles?

Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 821 Send Message	Sorry everyone, I didn't realise it would be such a big job. Might be quicker to wait for the next Census then!!!!

Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 821 Send Message	Ozi, why local newspapers? Can I do this online?

	If they died in this country it should be on Ancestry but you need to search the death index 1837-1983 not the Free BMD death index 1837-1983

	I did the local papers for G Grandad, it was all on film & made my eyes go funny but then so does the BMD's! Our local library keeps all the local papers on microfilm. Often they show a death announcement but again without a year it's a big job.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	I was thinking obituaries. Some newspapers have archives. Here in Oz people are transcribing obituaries as they come into the newspapers & they're online within weeks. Have you tried googling their names? Ozi.

	Free BMD only goes up to 1920 ish & the later bits far from complete. I'll warn you now it's not a very nice job!
