Newspapers from Preston, Lancs
« on: Yesterday at 01:47:43 »
Does anyone Know where I may find old newspapers from Preston. I am looking for reference to a death of Lawrence Holden who died 20/12/1842 due to a fall from a scaffold. I think he may have fallen from Preston prison. He was not an inmate, just a builders laborour.

Any help would be gratefully received.
