Probably best to contact the local library and see if there is an archive.

There is a site called familia,which links all libraries,and tells you how to get assistance at these libraries

Try this lot, if they don't have it they will probably know who does: Newcastle Local Studies Library 2nd Floor City Library Princess Square Newcastle upon Tyne NE99 1DX Phone 0191 277 4116 nell

Sylvia I think what you've got is a partial reference to this: Name: Newton, Robert Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 45 Quarter: March Year: 1895 District: Newcastle upon Tyne County: Northumberland Volume: 10b Page: 31 This is a GRO deaths index entry. Nell

Thanks for that ladies. I had a look at the Northumberland FHS and Evening Chronicle website and couldn't think where else to try. Nell, that's my man. I'm in New Zealand, but will try emailing the Library and see if they can help thanks again Sylvia

Sylvia If I'm right, and I think I am (:-)) its not a newspaper article at all. You can use the ref to order the death cert. Where did you get the reference from? nell

Hi Linda Yes, I'm pretty sure this is my relative, right name, right age etc. I really wanted confirmation before sending for the death cert. Sorry for the time delay replying, but sleep, work and a 12 hour time difference can be difficult at times Sylvia

Hi Sylvia, I live in Sunderland the next City to Newcastle..If there's anything I can help you with I will try my best for you Anita

Thank you Anita I believe there is a card index for these obituarys, possibly at the Newcastle Local Studies library, and was hoping if someone was going there anyway they could check this entry for me. Sylvia

Hi Sylvia send me the details you want checking..im going to Newcastle next week, were visiting the museums etc...(school hols ) I'll try my best for you :)
