At present there is free online access to British newspapers 1600 - 1900 .
On August 12 1887 in "The Liverpool Mercury" there is a report about "Mexican Joe" , who is to appear in Liverpool for an extended tour . "!Mexican Joe" is Col Joe Shelley .
The site is "Gale Digital Collections" .
I entered the name of my great grandfather , who was a Manchester police constable , and I found an 1881 report in the Manchester Times , of a court case which describes his injuries when he tried to capture a burglar .
I also found a report , from 1852 , which mentioned this man's father in law giving evidence about the Stockport riots between the English and the Irish .

The Gale archive is good isn't it? None of my rellies seem to get into the papers  but fun to browse.
I wonder also Annie, how his English name was chosen? After someone he admired? Completely at random? You hear tales of immigrants that had 'difficult' names, that were altered pretty much on the whim of the immigration officer they met on the day..

Hi All,
Ken, it looks like there was some spiritual movement when you took those pictures. The angels appear to have vanished on one
Also a warm welcome to Nick who may be wishing he had now took some of Bursy`s headache pills Perhaps he may need some in the forseeable future as he shouldn`t have mentioned where he worked .
Night everyone,
Mo

I never heard of Mexican Joe before, but we used to have a playground skipping song: Cowboy Joe from Mexico Hands up, stick em up, drop your gun and pick it up And out you go You did the 'hands up' etc actions when it was your turn in the rope Barbara
I have just read this out to a friend . She said they used this as a skipping song in Belfast in the '50's .
But she says there should be another line before "and out you go "
Anyone know it ?

Oh 'eck! 
One of my son's teachers is from Belfast I think, I'll ask her if she knows any more words tomorrow.
There was a similar one about a teddy bear - sorry Annie, off topic again - "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear turn around, teddy bear teddy bear touch the ground.." can't remember the rest!
And that song about the moon on Charlie Chaplin, but I don't think there were actions to that.

Hi Annie and all:
In case anyone is interested, you can watch a film about Buffalo Bill online. The American equivalent of the BBC, called PBS, recently broadcast a film on Buffalo Bill and his Wild West show as part of its American Experience series. The show features footage from the Buffalo Bill’s visit to London and includes the most famous Sioux, Sitting Bull. I saw the show when it was broadcast on television and found it quite interesting. As with programs of this sort, it takes apart the legend.
Here’s a link to the PBS web page for the Buffalo Bill show
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/cody/program/
On the web page, you can click on the blue-colored “Chapter 1” and get a new window to watch the program. Choose from Quicktime (for viewing on a Mac) or Windows Media (for the PC).
There is a minor inconvenience. When you get the video screen, there will be a series of squares near the bottom: one mocha colored, the rest blue. You have to click on them successively to go from the first chapter to the second and so on.
Beware: I found that enlarging the window to full screen while watching made the video disappear. I had to start all over to get the picture back.
Happy Trails,
John
