Thanks for the link! There seem to be some really interesting snippets in there, Freddie.

Winning £10,000 at the beginning of the nineteenth century must have been quite something: I hope that he he didn't spend it all at once!

But I pity this woman in 1815: "Birth: On Saturday se´nnight, Mary HIND, wife of Mr T HIND, Mason of Sturton-in-the-Steeple, near Gainsborough, of Two Boys - making a total of Five Boys and One Girl in One Year and 11 Months."

British Newspapers Archives (on line) have a couple of Linconshire papers. The Hull Packet and Lincolnshie Chronicle. Dates that I have found run from about 1840 to 1912.
