There are also a lot of collected editions on the Internet archive

These seem to be not original edtions though there is a lot of material there
This is searchable (when you have located an edition), but not searchable as a whole

Excellent!  Thank you Christopher, kenjo, Jenny and stonechat!    Lots of ferreting for me to do!  In fact, I think it'll keep me out of trouble over Christmas/New Year!

Hello. I'm anxious to read the obituary of Dr William BENTON of Barton-Upon-Humber, which was published in the Gentleman's Magazine of 2nd January 1800. Can anyone help me to access a copy? Many thanks.

Many thanks. The farmer was son of the surgeon. I've discovered a full run of the magazine in one of the local libraries so hope to be able to obtain copies of the obits for father and son. Thanks again.
