Can someone please find an obituary for me? I'm really struggling

[armchairdnasleuth]

Hoping someone could help me please.
I've been pointed in the direction of Rossendale Newspaper Archive but can't find what I'm looking for. My eyesight isn't the best, so I struggle with small print.

If you can help me, please send me a private message as I don't want to post my ancestor's personal details openly on the forum.

Many thanks.

Could it be in one of the newspapers included in the BNA, OP?

"I've been pointed in the direction of Rossendale Newspaper Archive but can't find what I'm looking for. My eyesight isn't the best, so I struggle with small print."

If you send me a pm then I will have a look for you if can tell me the year and, maybe also the month.

Although do be aware that it only goes up to 1999 and there are some years missing as well. It starts in 1936.

On FindMyPast I have access to the "Rossendale Free Press". That is available for 1889, 1897, 1912 and 1986-1999.

So if the obituary was from one of those years (1936-1999) then it can be found. If it wasn't in one of those years then it's unlikely to be there.

Hi @armchairdnasleuth I've sent you an update

Thank you, I've just replied to it.
