There are "The Times" digital archive, 19th Century British Library Newspapers, and 17th-18th Century
Burney Collection Newspapers, available on line, but you have to subscribe or belong to a subscribing institution such as a library.

It's a subscription site, but very useful if you're following a story

If you live in NSW free on-line access to above papers if a member of the State Library. Easy to join, but must live in NSW as that's where they send the membership card number to so you can log on..

Celia seems to have had more luck than me in newspaper articles for James Bruton, as I couldn't find anything.

This site has some good information on him, including the links, but you probably already have this too?
