  • Help with Canadian newspaper entry

    Very cheeky request but does anybody have a newspaper.com subscription for Canada? I have just solved a long-standing mystery of the name of my uncle’s wife who he married in Canada. I have just had two results come up as marriage announcements but don’t have a subscription to look at them. Would anyone be willing to look at these for me?

    Thank you in advance 😊

    Have you tried a search to see if you can access any for free via other method, there were a few out there.

    I don't have newspapers.com

        Which newspaper are you looking for? Probably not any help but I have digital access to the Vancouver Sun through my library.

          Hi Jenny,

          Thanks for replying. To be honest, I have no idea which newspaper I’m looking for. All I have is the name and date of birth in the UK of my uncle. He left on a ship to Montreal I. 1958. He had two marriages, the first very soon after arrival in Canada and a later one in the 80s. I know he was buried in Ontario but have no idea where he lived in between. If you think you might be able to help, I can provide more detail via PM.

          Many thanks 😊

            Sorry I've not replied before but been too busy to start up computer the last few days. I do have Newspapers.com sub and can look tomorrow for you if you'd like to PM me the details.

              Have you seen this set of links?

              AO has a large collection of pre-1930 newspapers. Their records can be searched at the Archives of Ontario, requested in interlibrary loan for use in your local library, or you can hire a researcher from the provided list of individuals who are certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists or who are members of the Association of Professional Genealogists.


              I have WW ancestry so can look on there if that helps. Send me a PM of the details

                    Sorry, forgot to check back. It looks as if you have help now but if you want me to look in the Vancouver Sun, let me know.
