Every time I try to get Observer obituaries Accrington only, I get the whole of Manchester, I don't want to scroll through all of them, any tips please.
Observer obituaries
- Thread starter Alan Gilmartin
- Start date
Same problem Alan. I e-mailed the Observer and was told that I could put the name in and it would bring the person up?? They didn't understand that when you live abroad you are looking through the obits to see if you recognise anyone. Didn,t make any difference, there is no way to bring up just the local obits. Maybe you should try, give them a blast?
I don't have any problem with the Telegraph or the Clitheroe Advertiser,
The Accy Observer is more Greater Manchester orientated now since it is printed there. A lot of the adverts in the paper are from Greater Manchester.
I got the following reply last June

Hi Susan,
Have you been using this link? Accrington Observer - News, sports, weather and events for in and around Accrington
We're part of the same company as the Manchester Evening News, and our family notices team do the notices across Greater Manchester as well as Accrington.
If this link doesn't work I will drop the team an email and see if there's a way of seeing just Accrington results. We run a full page of obituaries and notices in the Observer every week, so it may be the case that they don't go online any more. I will find out for you.
Thanks, best wishes
I didn't hear anymore so
I just type in Accrington where it says 'name'. Unfortunately you still have to read through a lot of old notices.
Have you tried complaining on the FB page. If all of us moan, perhaps they might do something

Alan, have you tried the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, you need to register but it's easier than Accy obs
Yea Susan, Telegraph's fine, really sorry, must get around to email you,
Susan, check obits in Telegraph on Allan Cookson, he's your second cousin, my dads sisters son.
Alan, coming from Clayton you may know people in the following link.
Go to obituaries.
champfunerals.com
You will eventually as they all go subscription only
Yea that worked a treat, now Im happy.
Some you might miss because they use their married name, & a lot like us have moved away from the area.
I wouldn't say disappointed, more like 'relieved'.
My mum always read the obits page first when the evening paper arrived and I once asked her why. Her 'profound' reply was.
" well I'm just relieved not to see my own name'. I suppose there's something very Freudian about that comment!!!
