[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.
