Are you following me!!???

I too have something to look for. Just a stray convict I've managed to link into my tree. Give me a few minutes cyber time and I'll take a look and see what I can muddle through.

I'll keep the cap on the maple syrup bottle.

I'm on the newspaper website with no problems - and it looks to be marvelous! Marvelous, that is, once I have even a slight clue of what I am to do.
I want to know if an inquest was held on the death of my ggrandfather Thomas Hinds Goble, d at age 33 on November 20, 1877 in Surrey London. I've not the slightest clue how to feed the above info into the websites blanks....

Has anyone else had a problem with marking as read items? I have previously marked several articles but the next time I log in they have disappeared. Now have to make sure I write down the date and name of the article just in case.

Once you log into Lancashire Libraries site click on "Online Reference Library" on the left hand side of the page.

The click on "19th Century British Library Newspapers" on the left hand side of the page.

Enter your library barcode number and press "Proceed".

From there click "Browse Publication Title" and click one one that interests you. Then away you go.

Good hunting.

Thank you so much for the info on this site. My card has now arrived. Have found loads of stories. At first I thought the newspapers were limited but when I started to look through I realised that the ones on there cover a very wide area. For example the Birmingham Post covers Shropshire, Staffordshire etc. as well as Warwickshire. Never realised my family were a load of petty criminals !! I knew a lot of them were shoe/bootmakers but have now found out some were receiving stolen leather to make the boots !!!
