Tunstall....Which newspaper would cover...
« on: Tuesday 08 June 10 07:35 BST (UK) »
Hi
Im looking for an obituary of a great war soldier.
He was a Railway porter and his family lived in Tunstall he worked on the Midland railway and enlisted Lancaster.
He isnt in the Westmorland newspaper so could anyone suggest a Lancs paper he could be in?

Also lived at Melling.

Thanks

Possibly The Lancaster Observer and Morecambe Chronicle, which ran from 1893-1944.

Lancaster University Library holds archives of this paper - although not a complete run.
