My ancestors were tenants of the Old Sun Inn in Coleshill St Sutton Coldfield and they both died within 2 years of each other. Henry Foden died a sudden death on the 10 July 1872. The death certificate states a "disease of the heart" certified after an inquest held the same day. His wife Maria went on to marry again to Charles Kent and they both continued to run the Inn until Maria herself died 23 September 1874. Would anyone be able to help me to find the names of the local newspapers of Sutton Coldfield in the 1870's?Any articles in the papers would be invaluable for me. Thanks for any advice. Glennys
Hi Glennys If you put "Sutton Coldfield" into the search box of the British Library Newspaper Archive you will get a page that gives you a variety of newspapers which yo can then filter by date. http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ You can even search some of the newspapers online now. Though the search is free, you have to pay to see the pages. 2 days costs £6.95 and you can see up to 100 pages (500 credits) Putting in a search for The Old Sun Inn brings up results.
