The following titles have been digitised onto Google books - but NO preview or full text is available -certainly not in the UK.
An Index to the biographical and obituary notices in the Gentleman's magazine 1731-1780 Authors Robert Henry Farrar, British Record Society Publisher British Record Society, 1891

As Googe and/or Mirlyn have nearly all the full set availabe as full texts , and the old indexes only gave surnames, these would give us a lot of easy information. I can understand the 1980 still being unavailable - but why the 1891 ?
