See new thread North East Death Notices This was posted on the DUR-NBL mailing list. "An index to the Obituaries from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle November 1885 - December 1900 is now online at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/Obituaries/ These obituaries are not just for Newcastle but also a great deal of Northumberland and Durham." If you haven't heard of these lists, go to rootsweb and look for your area. They are brilliant sources of information. Jan

Thanks Jan, I've saved the site to my favourites as my husband's ancestors come from Northumberland, so this might be helpful in the future. Kath. x

That's brilliant Jan - I immediately found one of mine and have asked the local studies library in Newcastle how I can get hold of a copy of the obit. What would we do without the tips board? Many thanks

I just noticed that the list is entitled death notices not obituaries (in fact it seems to have changed overnight). Not as useful as obituaries if so - although I suppose some of the people might have proper obituaries anyway.
