Hi there I am an avid follower of your postings of bits from the Western Mail. Both my parents came from the Pontypridd and St Woollos area, with both living in Cardiff after their marriage. Somewhere coming up will be the Diamond Wedding of my great grandparents, the marriage of my mother and father in Llandaff Cathedral and possibly some mention of my father who was prosecuting solicitor for Cardiff in the 1930's. But to get to the point, are the past copies of the Western Mail on line and searchable either by subject or name, there are several I would like to follow up. Many thanks for the fantastic postings.

Hello Jenny What you are looking for is the Gale collection. It is free to those who live in Wales and have a readers ticket with the National Library of Wales. You can search the 19th century. http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=readerstickets 19th Century British Library Newspapers contains full runs of influential national and regional newspapers representing different political and cultural segments of the 19th century British society. I'm sure you can upgrade to other newspapers. Or you could go for a free trial. http://gale.cengage.co.uk/orders--trials.aspx Gareth --- On Thu, 18/2/10, Jenny Anderton <[email protected]> wrote: I am an avid follower of your postings of bits from the Western Mail.
