Modern Newspaper Index In the mid-1990s I was clearing my study and had gathered a rather large pile of newspaper clippings which included some obituaries. My late Mum was with me and commented that I should index them. I was not especially keen as I already had a full workload. Mum offered to type as long as I organised the spreadsheet.The Index is called "Modern" because it contains items that relate to the period from 1950 to date. Don't let that fool you; there are several instances where the data refers to an event that happened a decade or so earlier. The material is mainly from the United Kingdom, but there are some exceptions. Whilst the bulk of the material relates to obituaries there are examples of family acknowledgements, remembrances, lengthy death announcements, birth and anniversary announcements. You will need to locate the actual obituary from the newspaper office themselves or local archives. If you do need any assistance, contact me at the address given on the front page of this website. A full list of the newspapers and locations contained within the index can be found HERE.Over the next almost twenty years the Index grew and grew, and now contains around 100,000 entries. Mum passed away in February 2014, and the bulk of what you see here is her work. I miss Mum every day and this index is dedicated to her. In September 2016 I offered the Index to the Guild of One-Name Studies in her memory.© 1996-2022 Julie Goucher and the Guild of One-Name Studies.Searching for BRAUND ref Surname Forenames Former Names Title Event Date Of Death Age Date Of Publication Name Of Publication Further Information Where Interred If Known 4216 BRAUND Bertha Deaths 2001-10-Sep 79 2001-14-Sep Western Morning News - 4217 BRAUND Eric Acknowledgements - 2001-19-Jul Western Morning News - 4218 BRAUND Eric John Deaths 2001-26-Jun 75 2001-29-Jun Western Morning News - 43671 BRAUND Ernie Deaths 2008-30-Jan 74 2008-01-Feb Teignmouth Post Butchers of Newton Abbot Passed away at Torbay Hospital - 43674 BRAUND Lionel (Ernie) Thanks 2008-22-Feb Teignmouth Post - - 43672 BRAUND Lionel (Ernie) Deaths 2008-30-Jan 74 2008-8-Feb Teignmouth Post Formerly of Nerwton Abbot Butchers Passed away In Torbay Hospital Kingskerswell Parish Church 56751 BRAUND Mabel Deaths 2001-10-Aug 81 2001-14-Aug Express & Echo Wife of the late Alfie Crediton Cemetery 56752 BRAUND Mabel Acknowledgements 2001-29-Aug Express & Echo - - 4219 BRAUND Mary In Memoriam 1978-06-May 2003-02-May Surrey Advertiser - 43673 BRAUND Raymond (Joe) InMemoriam 2007-10-Feb 2008-08-Feb Teignmouth Post - - 43670 BRAUND Raymond Charles (Joe) Deaths 2007-10-Feb 66 2007-16-Feb Teignmouth Post passed away at home Son of the late Fred Braund Wolborough Parish Church followed by Cremation at Exeter & DevonCrematorium St Peter's Chapel Search the Modern Newspaper Index for: Surname: Forename (optional):
