I think I've just discovered someone I know has died. Is there anyone who is much better than me at using the internet check if for me please ?

Or point me in the direction of checking for myself please.

Obituary in local newspaper? Could do a search on there.

I have Googled in the past to find out funeral details - typed the name in quotation marks “name name” into google followed by either obituary or funeral or death

I've found an obituary which announces one death and mentions the other which is the person I am about. It appears to be the right person but I'm not 100% sure. I will try the google tip, thank you.

Could you go on Facebook and search for their relatives (if you know their name) who might have made a post saying RIP?

Is there a mutual friend or a family member you could contact?

I don't have Facebook and I have no one to ask.

The person is linked to my BM who abandoned me and with whom I have no relationship.

I'm a bit shaken tbh.

Type in family name and also name or any of their children etc. That should give you some accuracy. Sorry x

Have a look on www.funeralzone.co.uk - when we lost my dad, the funeral director put a notice in our local paper and it also automatically went onto that site.

Sorry

I can help you if you pm me the name

Thank you sadly I don't know the child's name so can't check that way.

I'll try your link, thank you PigOnStilts.

Penelope, you have opted not to receive PM.

What an absolutely cuntish thing to write,Bartholin's were you the school bully?

It's not remotely funny to make fun of someone who's upset and anxious. Just for future reference.

Oh it's a child :( so sorry op. Hope you're wrong.

I can also assist if needed.

BarhtolinsSister - unpleasant, unkind and unnecessary.

If the person had a hobby or belonged to a club or society of some sort, look at their website in case they've made an announcement.

Thank you to those calling out that ridiculous comment. If they thought they were being funny it isn't .

I've tried all suggestions and signed up for a free trial on a checking site but haven't got anywhere.

Apologies for the confusion. The younger person who died first was the child of the other person but was an adult.

Would really appreciate more help. I'm trying not to think about it or stress but failing .

When I said the child's name I meant I don't know the name of the child who is a child of the younger person who died first.

You don't know this person's name is it? But you've heard that maybe a child of your BM (I presume that means birth mum?) has died? I doubt you can find out without maybe contacting your BM if that's something you're willing to do? Without a name, you won't get very far.

You're not making any sense btw.

Not a child of my birth mum.

Two people have died. Mother and son. I knew the son and found out he had died as it was mentioned in his mother's obituary as he died first. I don't know the name of the sons child who is still a child and still alive.

I see

OK so for argument the lady is your birth mums sister. And in her obituary you saw "loving mother of Jack (deceased)" or similar, but uou weren't aware Jack had died?
Hooefully none of that is too accurate, just trying to help clear up confusion with an example.

And Jack had a child who is, hopefully and as far as you know still alive.

Pm me details if you want and I’ll try.
