Following Celia's recommendation I had a look at this website. I have found it extremely useful, picking up references to a village and to families that I had not previously come across, although I have used the Times Index previously. Just one word of warning, however. It does not seem to pick up every reference with the relevant word in it. I was puzzled that it only picked up the birth announcement of one of my three children ! I explored further and found that in those 3 announcements there are in all 23 names of people and places. It only picked up 12 of them ! It is a wonderful resource, but don't assume that if it fails to pick up a name, that the name does not occur in the Times. Keith I received this website from another county's mailing list. When I searched for 'Cambridge' many news articles came up and in one article mention was made of "Stirbitch Fair". Does anyone know if this was the former name of "Stourbridge Fair"? The website to check out is http://libraryweek.galedemo.com/history.htm. Then click on 'The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985' - a very interesting website. Celia Perry, Ontario Canada.
