Where could I find online obits/newspaper for 1996 in Enfield, Middlesex?
Rose Martha Walsh nee Farrow b 26 July 1905 died Sept 1996 Enfield, Middlesex.
Thanks for any ideas. Didn't know if I should be looking at Brentwood Essex or Enfield Middlx.

Hi Vivian, as I live in the area, the local newspapers are the Enfield Gazzete, The Independent, and Enfield Advertiser, the oldest by far is the Gazzete, google it, also Southgate Town hall has a local history section, if graham dalling is still there ask for him, they keep microfilm of all old local newspapers.
Hope this helps

'tis ok. People get confused sometimes but it is all on account of our brain clutter. I've had a run around the Enfield Gazette but nothing is before the current month it seems. I will keep looking at things. There may not have been an obit as it appears a lot of people don't go in for that sort of thing. Here in Canada the obits are ridiculously long it seems.
When my parents died in Devon there was no obit for either of them. I doubt anyone knew they had died except for us family members! It was a bit sad in a way.
Thanks Keyboard (I will have to keep calling you that or I'll end up more confused than I already am)

To be honest, the later the years went on the "Gazzette" printed less and less obits, as I will be going to Southgate Town hall soon for my own local history research, is there any thing in particular you would like to find out about this lady.
Best regards

Thanks Keyboard
Just an obit if there is one of Rose Martha Walsh died Sept 1996 age 91 yrs. Enfield. Would mention pre-deceased by her husband James Henry Bernard Walsh (I don't know when or where). Obit may mention her children John, Doreen and Kay.
In the meantime I will order death cert for her (my aunt wrote that she or James died in 1960 but not so - I can't find him anywhere and I found her in 1996) James is a cousin and was a licenced barman - victualler. I have only been looking for a number of years
So thank you for going the extra mile and looking.

No, BT directories only go to 1984. Info I have is from death registration. She may have lived on her own, in a home or with one of her children. D. married A. Branch and K. married a M. Makepeace (this is unconfirmed as I am trying to find them too). My Walsh rellies in Brentwood, Essex don't know anything about James, Rose or their family so are no help there. Rose was born in Stepney and James was born Pembroke, Wales. He is my g uncles son.
Rose's address will be on death certificate when it arrives in about 3 weeks!Last edited by v.wells; 25-07-2009 at 9:58 PM. Reason: changed birthplace for Rose
