Does anyone know a good website or can do a lookup for information about a recent death /burial in Cornwall ?

Joseph Hamblin White is said to have died about Jun 2006, probably in St. Ives, Cornwall. He was born June Quarter 1925.

Any help ...
Obituary,
GRO index entry,
Probate index entry,
Newspaper account ...

would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Elaine

It might be worth checking the Western Morning News/West Briton website. The Family announcements are archived.

Unfortunately the online GRO death indexes only cover up to 2005.

That's a shame.

Another paper that is very good for Death notices is The Cornish Times. It even has reports of a selection of funerals, great for a genealogist as they often mention the relationship of the mourner to the deceased. Sadly the family notices for the Cornish Times aren't available online.
