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.© 1996-2019 Julie Goucher and the Guild of One-Name Studies.Searching for Vicary ref Surname Forenames Former Names Title Event Date Of Death Age Date Of Publication Name Of Publication Further Information Where Interred If Known 38499 VICARY Charlotte Deaths 2005-22-Jan 80 2005-28-Jan Teignmouth Post Torquay Crematorium 63122 VICARY Derek Acknowledgements 2002-04-Apr Express & Echo - - 63120 VICARY Derek Deaths 2002-19-Mar 70 2002-22-Mar Express & Echo - Higher Cemetery 63121 VICARY Derek Deaths 2002-19-Mar 70 2002-23-Mar Express & Echo - Higher Cemetery 63118 VICARY Eileen Honor Birthday Remembrances 2001-31-Mar Express & Echo - - 63119 VICARY Eileen Honor InMemoriam 2002-18-Mar Express & Echo - - 63126 VICARY Eileen Honor InMemoriam 2003-17-Mar Express & Echo - - 38500 VICARY Ida May Deaths 2002-04-Mar 93 2002-08-Mar Western Morning News Wife of the late Edward - 63124 VICARY Jean Acknowledgements 2002-31-Aug Express & Echo - - 63123 VICARY Jean Ann Deaths 2002-08-Aug 2002-13-Aug Express & Echo - Exeter & Devon Crematorium 63125 VICARY Jean Elizabeth Deaths 2002-23-Dec 2003-03-Jan Express & Echo - Private Cremation 38501 VICARY John Deaths 2003-01-Feb 72 2003-07-Feb Teignmouth Post Exeter & Devon Crematatorium Search the Modern Newspaper Index for: Surname: Forename (optional):
