West Han old newspapers
« on: Monday 14 August 06 16:23 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know which (if any) old local newspapers would carry obituaries from 1897 and where would they likely to be held today?
Eaton (Woughton on the Green, Doncaster and N. London), Davis(Shinfield and London), Harrington (Ireland and London), Sutcliffe (Todmorden and London), Williams, Hollingsworth (Thaxted), Lane (Rotherhithe), Fuller (Chesterton, Cambs), Dilley (who knows where????)
