Request newspaper Search Please!
« on: Wednesday 11 December 19 13:58 GMT (UK) »
 Could anyone find the time to look up a search on FindMyPast newspapers please for Thomas Witty b. 1812 in Hull and was Alderman in 1869 in the Hull Packet please, I can access the articles on the iPad but can't save it to send to my main computer as the email address is different. To save searching, I have all the census returns, Death date and Probate record in 1873 and year of marriage in 1834 to Frances Kirk but no certificates.
Thanks for looking.

Is it the December 1869 one, Carol?

PS It's about the Town Hall being closed for Christmas and signed by him

Aw thanks for that Gadget...that is one of them, the other is where he is mentioned as the Mayor:

03 December 1869 - Cornubian and Redruth Times - Redruth, Cornwall, England

He died in 1873...I think the lodge entry is his son.

Thanks so much for taking the time to find these for me, it's very much appreciated  :-* The next Hull Lord Mayor is looking for background information on one of her Ancestors who was the Mayor of Hull in 1869 and I have been asked to research him for her. She will be delighted.
I really appreciated your help.  :-*

I screen shot the relevant article. (By pressing the home button and the off button simultaneously)

Of course you have to remember to also copy the newspaper reference.
