Longest of long shots. I have a funeral on 21 April for a Douglas Buchan. He lived in a care home in Hailsham, East Sussex. I know nothing about him except his name and date of birth. I would like to be able to cite one fact. Anyone in Hailsham area know him? @HailshamNews
@brochherald Hi. A follower of mine said that the name Buchan was common in your area. Would anyone know a Douglas Buchan who was born in 1954? I am holding his funeral next week. No family or friends and nothing known. Would like to find out he was. Thanks.
@thecourieruk Hi. A follower of mine has found that Douglas Buchan (born 1954) was in Fife until 2008 before coming south where he died this year. I& #39;m holding his funeral. No family or friends & nothing known about him. Could you retweet to see if anyone in Fife knows him? Thanks
@KC_Times Hi. I am holding a funeral for a Douglas Buchan, born in Hampstead in 1954. He died in a care home this year without family or friends to speak for him or attend his service. He may have a brother and sister in law in SW3. Could you retweet? Thanks.
@pressjournal Hi. I am holding a funeral for a Douglas Buchan who may have been born in Peterculter in 1954. He died in a care home in Sussex this year without family or friends to attend his service. I have no info about him for the eulogy. Could you please retweet? Thanks
So yeah, lived in Hailsham from at least 2017-2020. Possibly lived in Fife until 2008. Possibly born in Hampstead. Possibly born in Peterculter. Lots of possibly. Thanks to everyone for the info. I have circulated it to the press for all of those areas.
I may be the only person who attends his funeral, but everyone pitching in on here this evening has shown him some love, and I will take that with me on Monday x
