Rochester - Local Paper - Help
« on: Wednesday 09 April 08 21:48 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have discovered that a Grt Grt Uncle worked on the local newspaper in Rochester circa 1901+, does this local paper still exist? if so can anyone direct me to how I could explore if there are any records of employees at that time

Many thanks
Jayne

Hi Jayne

Searching the British Newspaper Library catalogue for Rochester will give you titles and dates of newspapers in the Medway area
http://www.rootschat.com/links/036c/

Please see http://www.medway.gov.uk/malscindex.html for locations of the local newspapers (in addition to the newpaper library at Colindale as above) and also for an index of cuttings

There is also an index to a newspaper online - see the following link for Chatham News
