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 Woolgar ref Surname Forenames Former Names Title Event Date Of Death Age Date Of Publication Name Of Publication Further Information Where Interred If Known 41689 WOOLGAR Ed In Memoriam 2004-09-Mar 2005-04-Aug Surrey Advertiser - 41691 WOOLGAR Ed (Shaver) Obituaries 2004-09-Mar 2004-12-Mar Surrey Advertiser Stoughton Cemetery 41690 WOOLGAR Ed (Shaver) Acknowledgements - 2004-26-Mar Surrey Advertiser - 41692 WOOLGAR Gladys In Memoriam 1957-00-00 2001-17-Aug Surrey Advertiser - 55893 WOOLGAR James Henry Ernest Obituaries 85 2001-01-Sep Daily Telegraph - - 41693 WOOLGAR Joan Deaths 2003-08-Nov 2003-13-Nov Dorking Advertiser Randalls Park Crematorium Leatherhead 41694 WOOLGAR Mabel Barbara Deaths - 2003-11-Sep Leatherhead Advertiser - 41695 WOOLGAR Reginald William Deaths 2005-16-Feb 94 2005-24-Feb Dorking Advertiser Reunited with Hilda - Search the Modern Newspaper Index for: Surname: Forename (optional):
