Anyone else having problems with the Ryerson Index? I wanted to check
again an obituary reference I had found within the last few years, but
it did not show up at all.

I'll leave it as a general question for now, without giving the precise
name.

Hi Perce

Without details it's hard to tell in which way it's not working for you.
I just put in a generic name with dates between 2000-2019 and got lots of
records.

I don't do obituaries, Kate, so there won't be any from my paper, but
the OP is quoting a reference that apparently worked before. The most
likely problem is a transcription error. Are obituaries treated
differently?

I agree about a transcription error Doug. I think the site gives a reference
to any notification in print.
Perhaps the OP could try tweaking his entry instead of being too precise
with details.

At about this time, there was apparently a mechanical problem with the
site. It seemed to be a hiccup with the server.

I'm wondering if the family names in the Courier-Mail Obit for "Ileen" Law
were familiar. to the OP. An assumption (never a good thing, I know) on my
part that the family is known to him.

Here's the specific search:

Surname: LAW
Given Name: OLWEN

The death was in Qld, and (I think) in 2015.

I've tried it without giving an earliest date, and with just the initial
"O."

I'm certain that I had found the reference in the Ryerson Index previously.

Could Olwen have lived at Holland Park prior to living at Peninsula Palms,
Rothwell?
Sometimes families place a loved one in a home close to them for visiting
purposes.

Could this be your lady (the dates all match)?

Sorry. I really tried to shorten this URL but was unsuccessful.

Have we been led astray by incorrect name in Newspaper that can only be
shown as same in Ryerson Index, should Ileen, read Olwen?

Yes, she shows up there. But I'm sure the only place I could have found
it originally was in the Ryerson Index -- even though I cannot find an
obituary anywhere in a newspaper, so how could it have been indexed in
Ryerson?

Strange.
