Hi Ray,

Here in Swansea the Central Library have a cabinet full of images of local newspapers which I don't recall seeing in the Welsh Newspapers Online collection.
    It may be worthwhile phoning or visiting your county library service, to see if they have a similar facility?
Also next time you sign in could you consider tweaking the subject field at the head of this thread to look something like: G G Grandfather obituary - Anglesey that might attract some additional responses.
