John O'Groat Journal
« on: Wednesday 07 January 09 00:58 GMT (UK) »
Would anyone have access to this paper archives. I have e-mailed Wick Library, but I have not even had an acknowledgement yet. My 3 x great grandmothers death is listed on a short list of entries and I would love a copy of the entire article. Elizabeth Sinclair relict of James McBeath published 13 May 1853. Many thanks in advance.

Cheers
Freckle

Email North Highland Archive who you will find under www.highland. gov.uk. I am sure they will be able to help. They have all the back copies of the John o' Groat Journal.

Thanks Spittalhill,
I looked there and it said to get in touch with Wick Library lol. Have put a notice on a Caithness site I visit. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for your advice.

Caithness.org gives the e mail address for North Highland Archive as follows: north.highlandarchive@highland.gov.uk
Hope this helps

Thank you Colliehouse,

I have since received a PM from the Library archvist, he is on holiday till the 20th. When I did go to he National Archives they referred me back to Wick Library. They must have the only copies, and as was pointed out it is free from the Library.

Thanks again,
Cheers
