Hi ShaunJ,
Thanks for your replies, I thought I'd searched RootsChat to see if others had queried access to The Times but didn't find those two threads! ha ha

I've signed up to become a member of Lancashire Libraries and only feel a twinge of guilt as I'm half Lancs.  I'll keep my fingers crossed and eagerly await Mr Postman.

Here's the link if anybody else wants it:
http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/libraries-and-archives/libraries/join-a-library.aspx

My local library service has stopped their sub to the historic Times Online Archive in favour of the Daily Telegraph

And Dawnish, I think my library must be the same but I'll pop in during the week and double check.  It's a shame as I know they are both similar type papers but I always expect (perhaps in error) to find what I'm after in The Times.

Thanks all - very helpful as ever.

Hi Fiona,

I have access to the Times Online Archives as seen in this thread: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=481899.0

However, I am busy this week and won't be able to look anything up until Saturday. If you can not find access to the newspaper report you would like by then, message me on here I can do a look up for you.

Hi All,
The Lancashire library card arrived at the weekend but haven't had a chance to use it until today.  And it's just like magic.  I found exactly what I wanted within minutes, so a big thank you and hoorah!

Good to know that the Lancashire route still works!

I've never managed to make it work for me - had a card for some years, never managed to get it to work.... perhaps mine is a wonky one?

I think at one stage Lancashire libraries put a stop to those outside the area using the service.  I did at one time have access through them & Bedfordshire but have not tried either for a while as I use my own library.

Lancashire Library Service did ask RC to prevent the offer being circulated.

Still try using the old number, I don't think The Times provider's system is sophisticated enough to know that a ticket has expired.

At one time I was using the first 5 digits from one library service and the last 9 from another  :o
