If you haven't seen it already, the British Newspaper Archive has just been launched. In addition to English newspapers, they also have The Freeman's Journal 1820-1900 and the a small set of the Cork Examiner. You get a snippet view of a hit so you can sometimes make a bit out from just that bit. http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ -- Christina http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ ===============================
