Anyone know how to access the Times after 1921 at the end of the Times Digital archive.

I accessed a couple of obits of family members in the 30’s some years ago.
Can’t find out how to now, any ideas?

Just found that the John Desboro in my tree is Sir John Desborough (other spellings seen), was a prominent parliamentarian, and married Jane Cromwell, Oliver’s sister

This is pretty much what I assumed (Didn’t want to bias any answers)
Ydna testing has not helped, so far
So revisiting possible births in England and Scotland
I assume 1731-1735

My 4 greats grandfather was apprenticed in 1747
This is the earliest record of him.

Question is what was the. Normal age for this to begin,

He was apprenticed to be a clockmaker for 7 years

Annoying , just tryin to identify a dna match who share my grandmother’s maiden surname.
There are around 4 or 5 possibilities, though if he was born abroad , I’d struggle.


2.28% dna match. I can more or less rule out 2nd cousin, as two of grandmother’s brothers are known to have no children .  There are so many lines possible at 3rd cousin level
