Partial index to the Scunthorpe Star newspaper (under all its various names) for the period 1891 to 1945.  It seems to be mainly marriages, deaths, obituaries and covers Scunthorpe and the surrounding area.

Not complete yet but has surnames up to the letter 'R' - indexes can be searched online in PDF files.

There is also an online form to order copies with details of costs.
