Hi All, I am looking for newspaper obituaries from the 1840s through to early 1900s in Tameside. Does anyone know of an on-line resource for these? If not on-line, would such old newspapers be physically archived anywhere? Your guidance appreciated.

Hi Geoff, none of the Tameside area newspapers are on line at the moment, but they are found in the Tameside Archive Centre in Ashton under Lyne, both on microfilm and hard copies. Unless your ancestors were well off I doubt you would find an obituary for that time line, if there is one it would give little information, just name age where died. More detailed obituaries are generally found after WW1 Vanessa    All records are subject to error. Let they without typo caste tea thirst scone!
