Coventry Evening Telgraph: 1932 Obituary?

S

skylark

Proud to be a Brummie !!
I believe there is an obituary of Cecilia Thompson (wife of Fredk Henry Thompson) in the Coventry Evening Telegraph, November 1932. I wonder if someone on the site would be kind enough to look this up for me? Many thanks in advance. Skylark.

OOPS: I need to double check my info folks - my written notes are very messy so sorry! Skylark.
 
Oh! Still the obituary for Cecilia Thompson, please, November 1974 placed in the Coventry Evening Telegraph. Skylark.
 
Sorry but nothing comes up on a search.
I can see the Ancestry reference so will look later in a different way.

I've had another look but can'tt find the entry. As it is a daily paper there are rather a lot to look tthrough. Do you know her death date? That might narrow the search down.
 
Hello again - I only have "January 1974" - BUT if that is January Qtr - then that does mean a lot of look ups! I don't want you having to spend an age trying to help me. So I am going to call time!! Thank you very much for your time & effort - I've always appreciated the help I have been given by the great members on this site. Thank you again. Skylark.
 
Did check, and all the issues for November 1974 are in the archive . (in some cases where a year is listed as being available for a paper, not all issues are actually available)
