Morning Jenny, The only way I've managed it so far is to download the article, which means the whole page, and saving it in my files,with the intention of later on having a go at highlighting the part I want and printing it, probably using adobe photoshop. I gave up trying to print directly as I have several pages of huge print, but not of the article I wanted! The Times does print just the highlighted article if you find anything in that paper. regards, Eve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny McDonnell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 8:20 AM Subject: [IoW] British Newspapers free trial > Thankyou to the kind members who listed this resource. > I saw it in time to view a few last night but when I tried printing the > extract that I wanted it didn't seem to let me print the article I wanted, > instead I got the whole page in miniture or the whole page cut into pieces > over about 5 pages.

Jenny I found it was easiest to open the file in Acrobat Reader, enlarge to a size that was easier to work with then use the Select or Snapshot tool to highlight the sections needed and copy them into another program, such as Paint. Printing off the selection from there is then straightforward. It also means if the section you want is in 2 or more columns you can manipulate it in the drawing program as you wish before printing. There are probably better tools out there that can be used but most people have Acrobat and Paint I think.

For info - re-posted from the Association of Internet Researchers mailing list ICT Guides is a service offered by the Centre for eResearch at King's College in London (CeRch). It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in research and learning through cataloging digital arts and humanities projects along with the tools and methods they employed. A number of new projects have been added to ICT Guides: Highlight: Henry III Fine Rolls Project The Henry III Fine Rolls Project is a three year Resource Enhancement project, commencing in April 2005 and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). It aims to publish the Fine Rolls of Henry III from 1216 down to 1248 in English calendar format, in both print and electronic form. There is a fine roll for each of Henry III's fifty-six regnal years. Recording offers of money to the king for a multiplicity of concessions and favours, they are of the first importance for the study of political, governmental, legal, social, and economic history. The Fine Rolls of Henry III from 1216 down to 1248 are being published in both print and electronic form, including access to digital facsimiles of the rolls. The print version will be published by Boydell & Brewer. The electronic version appears on the project website and provides free access to all those interested in this resource. A second three year project also funded by the AHRC will complete publication down to the end of the reign in 1272. .

By the way there is another free trial this week, only found out last night, but have found the details of the death of my Henry Ryall in the 23 Aug 1851 edition of the Hampshire Telegraph. Luckily I already had the date and a note that there was an account of the Coroners Inquest (I think it was from Di Harding some years ago). Had searched for Ryall but the search did not show up the account, but browsed the edition and found the account (page 4) http://www.accessmylibrary.com/libraryweek/ Regards Jon Baker -----Original Message----- British newspapers free trial Hi Everyone, http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/palci07?id=trial&db=BNCN This is a free trial of 19th Century British newspapers searching available, The Advanced Search option lets you narrow the search: you can choose People (birth/marr/death) or News or Notices or a combination, or you can choose All.

Hi! imagine most of you know this site, but just in case http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ Best wishes, Raine

Good morning everyone, If anyone is going to the IoW Records Office in the next while would it be possible to check a couple of births for me please. My GG Grandmother was Hannah DIBBENS, born on the IoW at Newport on 4 March 1847, and she was also known as Ann or Annie at various times. I know she had my G Grandmother Sophia out of wedlock on 23 October 1878 before she married William WHEELER, who appears to have been Sophia's father, on 7 October 1880. I have just come across a number of births to a single mother whose surname was Dibbens while doing some searching on the IoW FHS website and would like to know whether my Hannah/Ann was their mother. William WHEELER's first wife died in 1868 on the IoW and all of these births occured after that and I have my suspicions that William may have been the father if Hannah was the mother. Unfortunately all of them died shortly after birth so this seems to be the only way to find out who their mother was. The births I seek information about are - Louisa Annie DIBBENS b 1869 Calbourne d 1869 Calbourne at 1 week Hannah DIBBENS b 1873 Calbourne d 1873 Calbourne at 2 days Susan DIBBENS b 1875 Calbourne d 1875 Calbourne at 7 weeks Emily Matilda DIBBENS b 1877 Calbourne d 1877 Calbourne at 5 months Any help that anyone could offer would be very much appreciated. Paul Crewe in Queensland, Australia

Margaret, It is unlikely that an official record of an inquest in 1803 still exists. However a local paper may have reported the event. One of my ancestors drowned near Newport in 1865. The inquest was reported in The Isle of WIght Observer, copies of which are held in the Newport Library. That paper was not based in Newport but reported Newport news. I do not know how far back the newspaper records go. I suggest that you contact the library to ask that question. Any newspaper report would probably be within a week of the event. Good luck, George Legge On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 2:48 AM, Margaret <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm enjoying the snippets very much, and have been stirred into writing to > find out if inquests were held in 1803, and do records still exist on the > IoW?
