Hi there

Trying to find an obituary for Lucy Harrison Scarborough England, death in 2007. Thanks

Not an obituary, but this Lucy Harrison was a 2007 death. Just whilst looking around, but not seeing a newspaper obituary, perhaps a bit too recent or area not covered?
Will remove if not yours.

The Registry has nothing to do with where the death occurred

Surname First name Date of probate Probate number Date of death Document type Registry
HARRISON LUCY COLVEN 01 October 2007 2572376 19 August 2007 Grant and will Manchester Add to basket

You could try this, although I have been having trouble persuading it to load!!

Perhaps you'll have better luck.

Lucy Colven Harrison died in High Peak, Derbyshire, so not the right one. (per Ancestry)

There's no Lucy Harrison 2007 Scarborough death showing up on Ancestry.

Are you quite sure of the details, Nuttybongo?

There may not be an obituary .not everyone puts one in the newspaper

Or is it the GRO ref you are looking for . That won't be online

You could get a copy of the death cert from the local register office for the area she lived

Have you tried the electoral rolls for a possible address

i was reading it that it was a 2007 death

Teach me not to scan over the replies thought the 1994 one had been discounted
