Newspaper Look up Please
« on: Tuesday 12 December 06 19:48 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for a report in the local newspapers for Port Talbot regarding an Inquest held on 17th April 1959 for a friend. Would anyone be willing to find the relevent report for me? If so could you please PM me and I will give you all the details.

Margaret :)

Hi Margaret,

You could try the Newspaper Library, (part of the British Museum) at Colingdale, London, - they have most UK Newspapers available.

They are on:

Good Luck,
Romilly.

I know Neath Library carries old copies of Neath & Port Talbot Gurdian.  Let me have the details and I'll see what I can do but it might be a few weeks away at this time of year.
