County Express newspaper - 1947

Good afternoon

I do apologise if this is the wrong forum for this subject matter.

My Mother had a daughter, my sister. Jacqueline was sadly stillborn.

I have a typed obituary which was placed in a local paper at the time, County Express - Cradley Heath. I would like to obtain an actual copy of the obituary. The date would be 1947 - late October to early to mid-November.

Are there any archives of the County Express of that period and if so, where?

Thank you

Hi Janice

My parents lived in Trejon Road, Cradley Heath. Jacqueline was delivered at Loveday Hospital, Birmingham. I have her stillborn certificate. Jacqueline brothers were also delivered at Loveday Hospital. My mother kept a diary which indicates an obituary was published in the County Express at the time.

Not having much joy today. I will post on the other thread tomorrow as to why. Feeling I am being stonewall by officialdom. They just want me to go away. That’s not for this thread But for the other

Thank you

Shaun-C
