Obituaries in western mail

The Western Mail is a Welsh newspaper that was published from 1869 to 1968. During its run, it published many obituaries of notable individuals from Wales and beyond. Unfortunately, the Western Mail's archives are not easily accessible online, and many of its issues are no longer available for public viewing.

However, I can suggest some possible ways to access Western Mail obituaries:

  1. National Library of Wales: The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth has a vast collection of newspapers, including the Western Mail. You can visit the library in person or access their online catalog to search for specific issues or articles, including obituaries.
  2. Local libraries and archives: Many local libraries and archives in Wales may have microfilm or digital copies of the Western Mail, which you can access for research purposes.
  3. Online archives: Some online archives, such as the British Newspaper Archive or the Welsh Newspapers Online project, may have digitized copies of the Western Mail available for viewing. However, these archives may not be comprehensive, and the availability of obituaries may be limited.
  4. Newspaper libraries: Some libraries, such as the British Library or the National Library of Scotland, may have copies of the Western Mail in their newspaper collections.

If you're looking for a specific obituary, you can try searching online using keywords such as the person's name, date of death, and location. You can also try contacting local libraries, archives, or genealogical societies in Wales for assistance in accessing Western Mail obituaries.

Please note that many of the Western Mail's issues are no longer available online, and accessing obituaries may require a visit to a physical library or archive.
