I am trying to locate the obit for my great Aunt and Uncle
Florence A Carr died 26th August 1957 in Scunthorpe
Harry M Carr died 5th March 1952 in grimsby
Does any one have access to the old newspapers or know if they are on line ? I am unable to travel to the Lincolnshire area
Thanks very much

If you get the obit, it will probably only be a notice of death, in local newspaper. In other words, it will give the name, age, the date of death and probably say what the husband/wife's name was and may name children. It will then give details of the funeral. In England, it is not usual to have a 'write up' in the newspaper.

DO you know of any online services that have papers for that area

You can contact newspapers online, but none have online searching for archives. One of the papers may publish a letter for you, if you want to see if any locals will search the archives for you. OR, you may still have relatives inthe area.
