I can't thank you enough for posting this link. I need to do some checking BUT I think you may have led me to my G.Grandfathers first marriage, which I thought I would never be able to find.

Much apreciated

Just a nudge by way of thanks for posting this thread. I spend all afternoon wandering through these newspaper articles - didnt find anything to do with my people, but it was truly fascinating and I only hope that it stays free for months and months - loads of information on there which must relate to some families on this site.

I just searched the family name and the newspapers in the area, and up came loads of stuff.

Thanks again for the information.
