Hi All, Can Anyone tell me when the Border Counties Advertizer was first in print ???? Have just received info that one of my folk committed Suicide at the age of 37. in 1849 The local paper "Whitchurch Herald" was not established until 1869, and I would expect this to be a note worthy incident. Any other suggestions as to find further information ? Hardman LLOYD b 1813 Overton Flints married Sarah BATTARBEE in 1837 Worthenbury they had at least 5 children............. the last one born soon after this death. Thanks Catherine
Hello Catherine You will no doubt be pleased to know that the Oswestry & Border Counties Advertiser is name indexed on cards at Oswestry Library. If you can't get there yourself to look through the cards they will probably be prepared to look up a specific entry for you. See http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/library.nsf/open/5FDAE21A8C5F294380256C990037C1F1 for details. They may also be prepared to print the article from the microfilm of the newspaper but there would probably be a charge for this and the postage.
