Hi can anybody throw some light on the Essex Times newspaper,Chelmsford Library do not have any they have the Chronicle,I am looking for a coroners report which they printed in 1891,the death happened in Barking,this info comes from a admission report of Barnados so I would think is correct,I hope somebody knows where to to look.
Best Regards

British Library Newspapers in Colindale should have a copy (see http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelprestype/catblhold/all/allcat.html).
Coroners' reports quite often appear in more than one newspaper. If you provide the name and date of death of the individual others may be able to check whether the report appears elsewhere.

There is nothing in the Essex Standard according to the search on the Essex County Library website.
It's possible there may be a report in Essex Telegraph. Not sure about that either as the death took place in Barking which may not be in the North Essex issues.

Hi,
There is an identical request to this one, entitled Essex Times, on the Essex Lookup Requests by Ihurtubise.

George Warner died Feb. 21, 1891.
Barnardo's stated in admission report:
"A letter from Mr. Edward M. Glenny, of the North African Mission, 19 and 21, Linton Road, Barking, enclosing a newspaper cutting form the Essex Times of February 28th, 1891, first brought this case to our notice. The cutting in question contains a long report of the coroner’s inquest held upon the body of George Warner, the boy’s father, who died suddenly a few days previously, at 1, Emily Cottages, Fisher Street, Barking."
The boy in question is my great-grandfather who was sent to Canada by Barnardo. Geno 500 is trying to help me find a copy of the newspaper clipping. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Linda

Hi well if the Essex Times are at the Colchester Library I can get there on Tuesday myself,I am always amazed that even in this computer age when I telephoned Chelmsford library to find out if they had the Times and if not who did,it returned nothing ,but it now seems they have the copies at Colchester as well as Colindale I had no idea the search had already been put on here I was contacted from another site in which I help people by doing look ups and as always if the search seems to be slowing down I put it on here knowing that you lot will point the way.
Best Regards

I honestly don't think there is an Essex Times............but then i might be wrong !
-
I know what you mean ,but given the number of posts on this subject I think you have to accept there is such a thing,if you use goggle and put Essex Times you get nothing,it was the first thing I did,having checked the ERO and Chelmsford library which has the Essex Chronicle from when rocks were soft,I begain to doubt if there was such a thing,but the British Library at it's newspaper collection at Collingdale has them you can go there or they will send you the article you want for a fee,but at the last gasp it seems that Colchester library has them,I will see on Tuesday,if nothing else it will mean there is another newspaper that we can look at as well as the Chronicle which lets face it is mostly adverts,maybe a little harsh ,but it sure is difficult to find anything.

From memory the Colchester Library has......
the Essex (County)Standard
the Essex Telegraph
the Essex Mercury
the Colchester Gazette
the Colchester Express
the Ipswich Journal
and maybe a couple more..........

Having just searched on Google there was an Essex Times.
If you Google this you can see..........."The Essex Times"
It seems that it was for southwest Essex only.
There is also on Seax the burial register for Barking and Geaoge Warner is listed in the burials.
Buried in the cemetery.
THis site might be of help Linda...........Books and E Books in the list could have your info.

Hi Cobb the barking site is a good one I have saved it ,I always seem to get look ups for barking so it will come in handy,you must be better than me at goggle as all I get is a modern publication of Essex Times the old one stopped publication in 1937,the original post was that the article in the 1891 Essex Times about the coroners report was what was wanted the poster already knows the date of death where he died ,where he lived in Barking,the burial would have been in a paupers grave and there will be no headstone as he died from drink and there were no other relatives except his young son who went into care,I will go to Colchester and see if they have copies of the Essex Times on Tuesday,if not then the only place is Collingdale who do have it for sure but it will cost the poster to obtain it
Best Regards

Hi again
I would think there would be an article in an essex paper available at the library You can check the listings for the year you want and see whats available
I knowas I worked for the Essex county Newspapers for 22 years that they have a title called the Chelmsford weekly News whether this followed on from the Essex News I dont know The chronicle used to cover mostly suffolk rather than essex But as I say ther are titles in the library for the year that you want so Be Lucky!!

Hi
With regard to cobbs & Genno500 references to the burial, according to the local authority web site http://cemweb.barking-dagenham.gov.uk/servlet/Telesearch
There is George Warner age 52 buried in Rippleside Cemetery Barking on 27th February 1891, Grave Reference R/S /D / 1662.
There are 3 later [much later] unrelated burials in the same plot.

Hi Colchester did not have the Essex Times ,they have a number of other papers but not the Times still not a wasted trip as I managed to do a look up for another posting that was slipping down the requests without a reply thankfully there are still some things that have to be looked up in person.
The only place that the Essex Times can be seen is Collingdale which in my humble opinion is wrong there should be a place in Essex where you can view the issues,still thats what we have got,it's a shame because if this paper did report happenings around the Romford /Barking area there must be lots of people who would like to see issues.
Best Regards

Hi There
Sorry you did not find what youwere looking for You would think that they would like to put their papers on line it could help lots of us
I did look in the essex telegraph for you but there was nothing in there although it covered quite a wide area surprisingly
