Hi Althea

Thanks for the alert to these newly-searchable papers.   
(I'd probably not have noticed, as strangely, this "new content" isn't mentioned on the home page of PapersPast ?)

Yes, as you say, PapersPast is an AMAZING place !

[And WOW !    I've just searched on "Marlborough Express" and found the birth announcement of my G-Gran  ... her birth was never registered !   So I'm suitably "chuffed"  ... over the moon in fact! ]

Cheers
