As an aside Time Runner, have you seen the reports into the suicide of Capt John EDWARDS in Brighton 1850?
I haven't, no! How exciting! Which archive did you find that in, and how did you access it? (I'm new to this genealogy malarkey and am still finding my feet).


I access old newspapers at home for free through my Australian National Library Card. This gives me access to their eresources which include British Library Newspapers. I think other libraries around the globe have similar arrangements, so maybe check out your local library.

There are also subscription sites for old newspapers - findmypast has newspapers, and there is newspapers.com and  British Newspaper Archive.

I'm happy to send you a copy of some of the articles I mentioned. Send me a personal message if you're interested.  :D
