London newspaper look up request
« on: Thursday 22 May 14 08:41 BST (UK) »
Would anyone be able to help with a newspaper look up
I'm trying to find any newspaper articles on the following
George Reed convicted 2 days prison for bigamy in 1917 he married starch ekins in southwark 1915
Convicted at old street courthouse. I believe he was married at the time to Ada Reed nee. Woolmer.
There was an article in the newspaper about Ada being left destitute and I think this may tie in with the bigamy charge.
Thanks in advance

Thanks jane I've checked find my past but nothing found.
The info about Ada being deserted came from an old family member who's no longer with us it was mentioned to my mum in passing that there was an article in the newspaper ( my mum thinks news of the world?) we didn't know the reason for the article however the bigamy would make sense. I just need to tie it in with Ada
