Hi

You could try the British Newspaper Archive (also on Find My Past) which has a couple of Elgin newspapers but the years digitised are very limited. It also has titles for the surrounding counties like Banffshire and Inverness but again note the years at present covered. The libindx site for Moray is also worth a look - you can search by surname and first name. Some entries have references to extracts from local papers at the foot of their page (often obituaries). Hope this helps.
