I have just received death certificate for Donald and it states he was killed in an accident in New Forest County of Hampshire on 3rd April 1966.

Can anybody tell me how I find a newspaper for that time to look for details?

Hi Folks

Quick update, Southampton Archives have come back with newspaper article for me, I now have his wife's name Doctor Joan Whelan, great another name for the tree.

Is there such a thing as doctor's listing for the 1960's?

Thanks for all help Angela
