If you can get to the St Pancras reading room or the British Newspaper library [Colindale] you can see them there for free. Alternatively, if you are in Further Education or Higher Education, they are also free because they are supposed to be for people to compare how we live now and how they lived then. Surely we qualify! Seems no one else will be able to access them not even by subscription. If they are free and already digitised why not just open them online to anyone.

Hello everyone, I've been sent a delightful picture from a lister of Benjamin and Sarah Ellen KNOWLES, taken in the early part of the 20th cent.

Martin, when you access the newspapers through the Manchester Library, does this mean you go to the Manchester Library website and then go from there, essentially accessing this website through the library account? I'm curious as this is the 3rd year I can remember that Gale has made some part of their archives accessible during the month of March but after a certain amount of time I can no longer access the Gale website and didn't realize it could be accessed from other websites. I spent most of my afternoon yesterday searching the Liverpool Mercury. I also looked for Bolton newspapers but couldn't find any on the list of publications. Does anyone know the names of the Bolton's newspapers during the 19th century and am I just missing them? TIA. Kathy Swift Thompson, Bozeman Montana
I've managed to get back on the test site. I can search some Scottish material on there but there is no Scottish material at all if I go through the National Library of Scotland.

Looks to me like some kind of staged roll out. I get the Gale service via the National Library of Scotland. This new database has been added but at the moment it doesnt include as many regions as the test site (which I can't seem to get any more) Judy On 17 Mar 2008, at 08:58, Martin Briscoe wrote: > I have access to the The Times Digital Archive through Manchester > Central > Library, I checked yesterday and you can get the 19th newspapers > through > there.

I have access to the The Times Digital Archive through Manchester Central Library, I checked yesterday and you can get the 19th newspapers through there. It seems to be just part of Gale's service.

Thankyou so much Kathy for your info on 19th C British Newspapers. I quickly found an article from 1887 on my Gt grandfather prosecuting his estranged second wife for stealing four pigs! Why was I never told of this! They must have made up as they lived together until death in 1908. Chris
I am passing this website on from another list. I'm afraid I just spent most of my Sunday afternoon searching the databases but with great success!! After years of searching I found my great great grandparents wedding in Liverpool in 1833. Everything else aside the papers make great reading and give a peek into 19th century life. Kathy Bozeman Montana http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/palci07?id=trial&db=BNCN This is a free trial of 19th Century British newspapers searching available, as I understand it, through sometime in April. The Advanced Search option lets you narrow the search: you can choose People (birth/marr/death) or News or Notices or a combination, or you can choose All. It would appear that cookies must be enabled for it to work. Reports on other Rootsweb list report the finding of obituaries for long lost relatives in places - sometimes abroad - where they never imagined their lost one may have travelled to. Well worth looking at while it remains open to public veiwing!
Hello Subscribers, This is a success story, the tale of my long search for my father's Kenyon cousins. It is a triumph for Rootsweb and its members. Only three weeks ago I found out that my father's cousin Zipporah Lee (b 1986) emigrated to New Zealand with her parents. I do not yet know exactly when but it was probably either just before or just after WWI. Kind people on the NZ Rootsweb found her married name, the deaths of both her husband Charles Rhodes and herself, and contacted the undertakers that dealt with her funeral in 1992 (she was 96 years old). From there they obtained names and addresses of her daughters. One died last year but I am now in touch with the other, also her daughter and niece, and have been able to send them much information about that branch of the family - information I have also discovered through the Bolton Rootsweb site. Very many thanks to all concerned. Very best wishes Mary
