Observer obituaries
 

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.

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?

Maybe when it eventually goes to pay online they will spend the time to sort it out

I don't have any problem with the Telegraph or the Clitheroe Advertiser,

Re: Observer obituaries
 

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'm another Accy Lad who lives elsewhere, and this continually annoys me because I, too, want to browse to see if I recognise anyone from the past.

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

Re: Observer obituaries
 

Alan, have you tried the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, you need to register but it's easier than Accy obs

Re: Observer obituaries
 

Yea Susan, Telegraph's fine, really sorry, must get around to email you,

Re: Observer obituaries

Re: Observer obituaries
 

Susan you're a star. Check it out Alan, as Susan said print Accrington in the name space and you get just the Accy obits. I'll buy you a drink next time I see you Susan.
