    1. [GLS] Newspaper look-up please? Walter William FLETCHER

    3. Lynda Have you put out your request to the Birmingham Rootsweb list? _http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM.html_ (http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM.html) Local Record Offices keep copies of some old local newspapers. Start here: _http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM.html _ (http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM.html) 1911 is not really old in newspaper terms. The Birmingham Record Office/Archives should be able to tell you which newspapers were around at that time so that you could perhaps go directly to the newspaper itself and they might then check their own archives. Good hunting Ruth

    3. Hi, As Ruth says 1911 isn't that old (and could still be in copyright). The easiest way to check which newspapers covered the area for this date is the British Library Integrated Catalogues (Newspaper subset) It isn't perfect for "early" newspapers but for 1911 it should be fine http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/5SFDR27CCTRDMUC1D7GE86UL1MJMS4LMX939U447DI6LS7QQNE-20143?func=file&file_name=find-b&local_base=NPL There is an Aston & East Birmingham News 1906 -1918 for example Best Regards Richard Heaton -------------------------------------------------- From: <RuthGenda@aol.com> Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2011 9:51 AM To: <gloucester@rootsweb.com> Subject: [GLS] Newspaper look-up please?
