Not every library has extended their Gale/British Library subscription (though I would always attempt to encourage them to do so and therefore Family Historians to ask can they have access). I have access to a lot of British Library material through my Buckinghamshire Library Service from home - though how long they will be able to support it I'm not sure in the current recession. Incidentally I have put one copy of Berrow's online (I think this copy should be free but apologies if not) and will tackle the rest of the collection - plus some Worcester Guardian's I had to dis-bind to get scanned( I think my copies of the Guardian are missing from the BL collection) Best Regards Richard From: Roger Jones Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 9:51 AM To: Gus Tysoe Cc: Richard Heaton ; ENG-WORCESTER@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WOR] Fw: Gaol records I read Berrows online via my Birmingham Central library readers card.

My fumbling attempts to find it on the British Library site merely took me in circles - I was only able to find about half a dozen front pages of Other Local Papers, all far from Worcester!
