Hi again, here is the link for the website, don't know how old it is but a newspaper in Cumbria/Scottish Borders were very useful to me when I contacted them, they searched for a death for me and sent a copy of the page from the newspaper to me for free, all I had to provide was my address!. Anyway here is the link, might be worth a try, http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/

Good Luck

Hi, just had another look for you on the website, the telegraph library has archives going back to 1879.

Thanks for your help, I'm based in London and I'm planning to go to the British  library. They seem to have a large section of Derbyshire papers there.
