Can recommend this, if it's right for you.I have subscribed to it(Christmas present!), having looked at the free bits and ascertained that it would be of good use to me. It includes the Hereford Journal and Hereford Times, which both seem to have a wide coverage.So far I have downloaded 23 items which pertain to my Laughton family fron Newent and Ledbury, from just these two newspapers!Maybe I'm just lucky,(they were yeoman farmers, so there's sale notices etc.)The half of the Laughtons who moved to the Black Country don't appear-too humble, I suppose, and only the Birmingham papers are on there so far- so do look at the freebies before you buy-you can tell quite a lot from them, and whether the site will be any use to you.Check it out-as they say.....
