Well, now I fell silly, but thank you very much. I have been using Trove for a while, but that is Australian papers only. I didn't know of a way to access overseas papers. I will get myself subscribed and follow your advice. That's great! I particularly want to get hold of Bridlington papers like the Bridlington Free Press and The Chronicle. They don't appear at this stage on the British Newspaper Archive, which I have been using. I want to pursue some notices re my grandfather and further back. Yvonne was good enough to send me something before I joined Yorksgen, but I don't like to impose on people if there is a way to do it myself. I shall have a go. Good on you, Nivard! Your posts are unfailingly measured and helpful.
