Thanks Helen. I have now contacted Hartlepool Library, who were really helpful, and are willing to do a look-up in the Hartlepool newspaper of 1910. They asked for details in writing. Many thanks to everyone on the list who responded. Roger Quick From: Helen Oram Subject: Re: [ENG-DUR] Hartlepool Newspaper 1910?
