looking for a death in yorkshire newspaper 1830ish beverley area can anyone help me find the newspaper it would most likely to have been in thank you

Driffield is in Gloucestershire, isn't it? Gloucestershire Libraries (http://www.libraries.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=10789)seem to give free access to their members in the Times Digital Archive but sadly not yet to the Gale Group 19th Century Newspaper Archive. A larger city near you might have access. The following papers are included in the database:
Leeds Mercury
Northern Echo
Northern Star

Some of our Yorkshire members might be able to give you the name and address of a more local paper to Beverley. You could then write to them.

Sorry, my cold seems to be interfering with my ability to write a proper sentence. I meant that some of the B-G members who read this and live in Yorkshire might be able to post the name and address of the local Beverley paper here. You could then write a letter to the paper asking for information.

You might find some leads here (http://www.world-newspapers.com/yorkshire.html) but I don't know which ones go back as far as 1830.

Sue - what have you been taking for your cold |5cups| (and how much did you have? ;)) Driffield is in the East Riding, so Gloucestershire libraries won't be much help. However, the link you gave should help Tracy contact a current local paper.

Tracy - for historical papers, see the Newsplan page for Yorkshire and the Humber - here (http://www.yli.org.uk/newsplan/index.htm). According to a book I have there weren't any local papers in the East Riding in 1830 apart from Hull, where there were quite a lot. So your best bet might be local studies libraries in Hull or Beverley - but see what the Newsplan site says, as I didn't explore beyond the front page.

Yes, as soon as I saw the list of Yorkshire papers I noticed a Driffield. All I can say is, blame Bartholomew's Road Atlas of Britain, which was the easiest thing I had to hand. I went back and checked and the only Driffield in its index is in Gloucestershire!

|oopsredfa Well, well, never knew that. Over to Tracy, I think, to tell us which one she's in (if she wants to), and whether we've helped her at all.

Sometimes you'll find it as Great Driffield, but I don't think anyone calls it that.
