Newspapers in existence for 1820's through 1830's?
« on: Tuesday 16 May 06 23:26 BST (UK) »
Hello all!

I am wondering whether businesses in England(specifically organ builders) might have advertised in large city newspapers(such as York)? Was this the practice of the period from 1820's through 1830's? And are old newspapers in existence for this timeframe?

I wondered whether my ancestor, Henry OHMAN who was an organ builder in Yorkshire might have placed such an advertisement? He apparently lived in Aberford (1828) and Tickhill (1831).

Any thoughts on this?

Hello Mary

Not quite what you asked for but in the Baines Directory for York dated 1823 there is an entry for Andrew Ohman, Organ builder & violin mfr, Gillygate, York. I found it on www.genuki.org.uk

happy hunting
