Find Ancestors

Need information about some Greengates bradford residents from yesteryear . I am asking on behalf of Greengates Liberal club . The people I am searching for were all trustees of the club . The club needs the approximate date of their deaths , so the deeds for the club can be updated .
John Whitfield . Sandhurst Leeds road Idle
John Clarkson . Rose Lee Greengates
John Whitehead . 3 Crowther Ave Calverley
Harold Hall . 15 Sulby Grove Greengtes
Gordon Fieldhouse. 202 Newline Greengates
Any information would be very welcome

The Britishnewspapers seem to have many articles on the GGLC including obituaries of its members.


Britishnews papers are searchable on this site but requires bought credits...….once viewed a download to PC is needed as they cant be re-read without more credits.

Have you done anything yourself to try to look for deaths? On freebmd, for example

Your info is sadly lacking in dates, without which no-one can realistically be expected to help. Presumably, the records show WHEN they were trustees?????

Is this one of them? I picked the least common name, obviously
