Would anyone recommend a site for London newspapers. My great grandfather Solomon Robert Smith died on 7th April 1946 in Ilford Essex and I am interested in finding out of there were any obituaries for him in the local papers. I have found through help from some members of the forum where he was buried and now have a photo of his gravestone. He was buried on 13/4/1946 in Manor Park Cemetery Illford in Essex and was living at 88A Ley Street in Ilford when he died.
As I live in Scotland I managed to find many of my Scottish ancestors in the local papers at the local library but wondered if I could do any searching for my English relatives in the newspapers. I have tried Ilford library but no luck so far
Solomon fought with the Royal Artillery in WW1 then joined the Post Office after the War
Can anyone offer any advice
Thanks
Steven
