[Bann Valley] Newspaper index online
This seems to be a new resource
Gale, part of Cengage Learning, along with The British Library and
the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), have made nineteenth-
century British newspapers available on the internet. The database,
known as “British Newspapers, 1800-1900” and available at http://
newspapers.bl.uk/blcs/, gives users access to over two million
newspaper pages from 49 different national and regional newspapers
from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
It looks useful. I checked Lunney, which you don't expect to find too
often in British 19th century sources, but it did produce quite a few
of interest, though it once or twice found "lunacy" instead, which is
a new variant and a bit worrying! The search is free, it gives you a
thumbnail with a portion of line as a taster, and you then subscribe
for a certain number of articles.
