Does anyone belong to a library that has access to The British Newspapers 1800 to 1900 collection? I know that Cardiff library has a sub and also Cardiff University and suspect they are not the only ones. Unfortunately, my library does not have this.
If anyone has access, I would be grateful for any information you can give me. Here is the story:
I have a death cert for Daniel Murphy who died on 12/9/1882 in Cardiff. He was run over at work by a ballast engine on the railway. The inquest took place on 13/9/1882 and was reported in the Western Mail on 14/9/1882. Cardiff library has been very helpful in sending me a copy of the report which they got from the British Newspapers site. However, the report gives no information about his family, other inquest reports I have seen have sometimes stated a wife’s name etc. I am trying to prove that this was my relative.
I did a search on the British Newspaper site and found another entry for 14/9/1882 for Daniel Murphy and the results show there are more words than in the Western Mail report so, with luck, it might give me the info I need. I do not have a sub myself, nor access through my library, so, is anyone able to access the actual report as I would like to see it? I just searched on Daniel Murphy 12/9/1882 to 30/ 9/1882 and the results were for the Western Mail report that I have and another in Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser (Dublin, Ireland).
Thanks for any help.
