Title: Scarborough obituary
Post by: abun on Monday 03 August 20 18:37 BST (UK)

I am researching James William Whitbread, a theatre manager and playwright who died in Scarborough on 9th June 1916.

I have a number of obits for him but I understand there was one in the Scarborough Mercury newspaper for him which I can't trace.

I wondered if anybody might have a copy or know how to obtain one.

Many thanks

Martin

As far as online newspapers, the Scarborough Mercury at British Newspaper Archive or FindMyPast covers the year 1858 only. The Scarborough Gazette covers the years 1850-1894 only.
