I am researching my family in particular,
Richard Hannam Snr b 1793 d 16 Jan 1838 at Retford,
Ann Hannam (His wife) b abt 1757 d 10 Dec 1828 at Retford,
Richard Hannam Jnr (his son) b 1760 d 14 Jan 1856 at Retford.
The two Richards were prominent Solicitors in the town and Richard Snr was involved in some scandal to do with the elections around 1830.
I would hope that there would have been an obituary or death notice for them in the local paper. My question is; what local papers were around at the time, do they survive, and if they do where are they?
One other question where are the Diocesan records for St Michael's kept?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Steve Hannam
