Many thanks for your replies Norma

Is my memory right? I do not believe that the Times had any news or pictures on its front pages at that time. But my parents were Daily Mirror types so what would I know ?

By then, all other papers had editorial matter on the front pages, including pitcures. There is an Official Index to The Times which is available overseas in a few major university libraries (6 in Canada, at least 3 in Australia) -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society

Norma asked, "Can someone tell me if there was or is a newspaper called the London Times" It is probably "The Times" of London, rather than "The London Times" if you get my meaning. Most central libraries will have an index to "The Times", and quite likely microfilm copies of issues. Regards Brian
