Death Notices in Dunmurry Area

Ms_Chocaholic

My OH's birth mother lives in NI, she's only in her sixties but she has decided that she does not want contact with OH as none of her family are aware of his birth.

Thing is we would not be aware of her death (unless her partner/children found papers and made contact) and wondered if death notices for the Dunmurry area are published on the internet.

As I don't know NI very well at all, unsure whether Dunmurry area is too vague, if you need me to be more specific by area, let me know.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Belfast Telegraph don't appear to list them online. Irish News only let you access death notices if you are a subscriber to the site. News Letter don't appear to have online access either.

Apart from the aforementined local newspapers, I can't think of any where else that they would be published online.

This probably hasn't helped you very much I'm afraid, sorry!

Thanks. Do you know which paper it is likely that they would put the notice in given that they live in that area.

very pessimistic watching the papers to see if OH's mum is dead!

dunmurry could either be in ulster star or belfast telegraph

with regards to the irish news it would depend on her religion

We don't want her to die, we'd love her to contact my OH but she feels unable to cos family are unaware of his existence.

We were thinking that, should she die, we could then attempt to contact (after a lengthy period of time) her children (OH half siblings) and ask if they would like contact, however we would be unaware of her death.

She is Protestant.

Would it not be possible for you to maybe contact a local Priest that knows OH's mother and make him aware of the situation in confidence and ask that he contact you should she die. Not sure if this would be possible but just an idea......

I'm not sure I'd trust anyone with this information (priest or no priest) as if the info got out she would be devastated.

Sorry to any priests who might be reading this !

its a difficult one and no mistake.....

ps.. if shes a protestant, the priest might not be the right person to go to!
