    Any help/information appreciated,
    Thanks

    Never thought of checking the Irish papers - good find!!

    For reference there are lots of free newspapers at the Google Newspaper Archive including about 3 dozen Montreal titles.

    Same here, just assumed it wouldn't have been in the Irish papers as she was living in Canada when she passed.

    Great tip on Google newspaper archive I always thought newspapers.com was the only place to get access - thank you for the tip!

    Sorry to Hijack but looking for a favour also.

    Could someone with a worldwide ancestry or access to newspapers look up any further information regarding the death of David Addison, an American pilot who died in a plane crash in co tipp on the 19th November 1968.

    There is results from 'deaths of American citizens abroad' but alas I cannot access.

    I have information from the limerick leader newspaper, just looking for any other info to accompany this.

    Thanks

    You've presumably looked at his death cert as well - which should be on irishgenealogy.ie

    Cheers. Thanks very much.

    Interested in any additional newspaper material too
