Title: Journalists in 1900
Post by: glenclare on Saturday 05 February 22 19:43 GMT (UK)

Hello,

I have a relative who in 1891 was a journalist on a local paper in the Durham area. He moves with his wife and family between 1893 and 1895 to be a journalist in London, and by 1901 is earning enough to employ a servant.

Are there any records that might show which newspaper(s) he might have worked for?
