Dorset newspaper look up request-Alexander Stevenson
« on: Thursday 21 April 11 19:35 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can do a newspaper look up request for me, or tell me if there are any online newspapers i can look at.

I'm looking for an inquest into the death of Alexander Stevenson who died on 13 November 1901
I have a copy of his death certificate and it states there was an inquest to be held on 14 November 1901.

MOD-sorry if i've posted in the wrong place.

Cheers,
Marie

Hi

The Dorset History Centre in Dorchester holds copies of  local newspapers on microfiche (I think) and might also have a record of the Inquest.

If you contact them with details of date and place of the Inquest they should be able to advise you.

Hi,

As far as I know they are not.  Have you searched the area via Google?

If it was a major news story it might have made the national papers; The Times has an online archive but I think it might be pay-per-view.

Hi,

Are you aware that in 1901 parts of Dorset (Bournemouth/Christchurch area) were in Hampshire;  boundary changes happened several decades later.

Hi again Nanny Jan,

As i'm Scottish, please forgive if i don't get the right area, but i know
the boundaries were changed some time ago that's why i apologised and
said i hope i posted in the right place.

Will google as you suggested and see what i can find.

Thanks again for your help

Marie

Hi Marie and Jan,

I've just checked 'The Times' digital archive and as far as I can see there isn't anything there. It isn't pay-per-view if you are a member of the Library and Information services.

Bournemouth Library have the relevant local newspapers on microfilm, as you have the date of the inquest it should be a simple job for them to do a look up for you.

I am unable to get there at the moment, otherwise I would have done it for you.

Many thanks to all.
