Hi, would it be possible for you to look up a death for me. My great grandfather Richard Hetherington died on 26/12/1936 and I was wondering if you could look in the obituary column of the Liverpool Echo, or such, as I would like to know where he was buried, or cremated. Thanking you in anticipation,
Susan

Hi T, not sure about this one. A gt uncle of mine died in morocco under suspicious circumstances, he had only been in the country a few days, anyway my nan was called on to go and retrieve his body. His name was William david Edward Walker and it happened between 1945/50 and was apparently covered in the london papers of the time. If you can find anything, great, if not thanks for looking anyway. Regards Linda :)
