Does anyone have access to Newspapers for NI. I am searching

Death of Brigid/Bridget Haughey nee McKenna she was killed in a road accident in Armagh on the 19th Oct 1973. I would appreciate any details and obituary, also obituary of her husband Hugh Haughey who died 23rd Nov 1980.


Thank You

You might have to contact Armaugh local studies/archive. (Copy & Paste both lines). They will probably make a charge.

Although there may be a report about the fatal accident, bear in mind that few people have an obituary posted after their death. If you’re lucky, the surviving relatives might have paid for an entry giving basic details of the funeral arrangements.

Have you tried a general internet search for their names?

Thanks DetEcTive for your reply,

I will try the link, the person who has the tree is a relation of Brigid but does not have any further information on the accident.

Don't know who the tree owner is - I haven't registered with Geni.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Both Trees belong to the same person, a grandson of Brigid.
