Hello. Long shot but I searched for an obituary on google and saw one that had been printed in the Manchester Evening News but can only see a few lead words. When I click on the link it takes me to the Legacy site but when I search for the lady in question it doesnt come up.

Is there anyone who can find the obituary anywhere else please?
The lady in question was Florence Brown 'Flo' nee Dodds wife of late Peter Brown, formerly of Tameside area. Possibly passed away around 2015 but I cant be certain of that as I cant see the full obituary.

Im trying to find the full wording on the obituary if possible

Thankyou
Cass

When I looked, it appears you have to 'add to chrome' to see old obituaries.

Researching:
Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842
