The Coleraine Branch of the NI Family History Siociety still have copies of the book "Ballymoney Herald BDMS 1860 - 63" The Ballymoney Herald existed between 18th October 1860 and 8th January 1863.

Hello
I've just discovered the Belfast Newsletter (1800-1900) is on line at the British Library Website (link below).
This is a pay-per-view site (£6.95 for 200 views), but freely searchable by inputting a surname, etc. You will be able to see the actual page and print it off once payment made. I've found it very useful!
