I've just been catching up on watching some older WDYTYA on Yesterday (Nigel Havers being last night's viewing - what a thoroughly nice man !)... they always seem to be able to find newspaper articles involving their relatives and I was wondering what the best site(s) was to search for such items ?
For example... a recent search on findmypast.com for an ancestor of mine (John Hampden Wall) brought up a couple of articles about the marriage of his daughter (which then added the name of a previously unknown spouse to my tree)... but I am, alas, not subscribed to the site. The newspapers in question were the Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette and also the Western Daily Press... do these have online archives to search or is the only way to pay for the FMP subscription ?
Your assistance, as always, is greatly appreciated...
