    My misses lost her dad last week and all the family where around and like all family's we all starting talking about old times.

    One family member brought up his brother ( her uncle) who went missing and was found dead back in 1986. Are there any online archives or death notices I can check online to try find out more ?

    I tried to search but his name is popular... I know his age / where he was from etc.

    Any help would be great.

    The local library would usually have archives of the local paper.
    If he was a missing person at the time there may have been an article about the disappearance, a short obituary, a death notice.
    Trawling the archives in person in the library is usually free.
    The local paper often is archived on line, but you usually have to pay.
