Thanks Mr M. The first name I entered I got a hit, and the second, but after that, nil. A frustrating site to navigate.

Freeman of Berwick upon Tweed

I have Newspaper.com which is better known for it's North American coverage although I have found some little gems in the UK :-). I agree with grannyfanny about the site navigation though:-)

If anyone is thinking of subscribing to any US newspaper site, this one is much cheaper than newspapers.com;

https://www.genealogybank.com/


And this one is free, for US newspapers between 1756 and 1963 :

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I have subscribed to genealogy bank in the past but found it somewhat limited, good in some areas of North America but not so good in others, but I guess you get what you pay for :-)

I wasn't encouraging people to subscribe to Newspaper.com but as there is free access take advantage as grannyfanny has done and see whether you are lucky :-). As I mentioned it does have some UK articles which don't appear in the British Newspaper
Archive:-)
