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!

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.
