Hi Ann,

This link will take you to Derbyshire County Council Local Studies:

http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/librar/locstu.htm

They should be able to tell you where to find copies of newspapers - probably the 'Derbyshire Times' would be the one.   They hold collections at both Chesterfield and Matlock - unfortunately Bakewell is in the middle of these two places!

Good luck.

 I can look in the Derbyshire Times if it covers Bakewell, do you have a better date, like a Death Cert?
