Hi Andy, welcome to Roots Chat 

Have you contacted the local library for that area ?  Most libraries have reference books for the locality, and many have archived newspapers and/or press cuttings.

Hi Andy and welcome to rootschat

As Nick says the local library should be able to help especially if it has a Local Studies Unit.


Good luck,
