Hi lyn,

I notice that you're in Australia? As luck would have it, if you join NLA (National Library of Australia and their e-resources) you can get access to what's known as the Gale Collection.  FREE! It covers 1600 to 1900 with a variety of newspapers, then from 1785 to 2005 or 2006, with The Times. You do have to wait for them to send a card out by snail mail to get access and it is VERY addictive, especially when you realise that you're reading about things that happened before Australia was even known about :)

Victoria

Thank you Victoria I am in Shepparton we have a large library here which I am going to on Wednesday they have a History Group so I have written down the advice you gave me . But if they dont have what I want I will go down to Melbourne I have just got a library card for the National Library of Australia . Searching my family is so addictive and I laugh when people say haven't you finished searching yet. Take Care Lynette  :D

It's a small world I have only lived here for about five years and I love it I would never go back to Melbourne now. Take Care Lynette
