Hi Karen I can't tell you about the Aberystwyth Observerspecifically, but my impression in general is that NLW have only digitised their own collection of newspapers, and not attempted to fill gaps. There may be copies covering missing periods in other libraries, such as the British Library Newspaper collection, or the town library in Aberystwyth. You can also search the British Library collection by place, which will tell you what other newpapers were circulating in the area.
