Hi Folks Just received the following message and it does work. Judith K Hi folks, For anyone who doesn't already know - There is a free trial being offered on the site at present. Go to - http://access.gale.com/gdctrial/ and register. I just put "None" in the 'Institution' fields and it worked.

Hi Judith, Thanks for the information. Just as a matter of information, I also put down none for the phone number as I have been plagued with phone advertising in the past. It still worked when I did that.

I just put 'retired' in the institution field and that worked too! the older of the tworobbos

It's well worth a go. The 19th C British newspaper collection includes the Leeds Mercury, the Manchester Times and the Northern Echo. I was able to find an account of my great-great-grandfather Robert Hird's death on a train from Shipley to Bradford in 1891; an account of the tragic death of his nephew Benjamin in 1873 who drowned after falling through the ice on Frizinghall Mill Dam, leaving a widow and eight children; a report from the Yorkshire Assizes where his great-nephew John who was convicted of stealing a watch in 1877 and sentenced to five years in gaol (*now* I know why he was in prison in the 1881 census, but why was he locked up in the 1891 census?). Go for it.
