Finding Newspapers (local )

[GRACELAND]

What and where would i find Newspaper reports of a Ann Ballard She Died In June 1876
Downton Common Nr Leintwardine Hereford &Salop

But the reason i think she may have made the news was she made it to the Age of 99 !!

Her Husband ( Samual Ballard) Died a few years Before But again a Good age Of 88 Ag Lab same place as above 


Any idea what the local news was called then ??

Might this also have been in South Shrophsire newspapers, as Leintwardine is right on the border there ?

Could be a possibility EBN.  If so, then Graceland needs to contact the Shropshire Archives as they hold many old newspapers there, on microfilm and also originals.
