I managed to fegister on the site you gave but didn`t see any mention of newspaper collections on it . Perhaps I`ll be able to access them when they send me a password
Thanks for your reply

Although I got several shortlived trials without a password, that was evidently a bit of a fluke. A friend has advised going to http://access.gale.com/gdctrial/ and registering. Where it asks for institution, say none. They will send you a password.

Good luck

Joss

Yesterday I got on and found one great great grandfather being drunk and disorderly on numerous occasions, and violent on a couple, while another great grandfather was caught passing counterfeit coins (here's one I made earlier) in a pub! Unfortunately, this morning my quest for dodgy ancestors was brought to a halt. I have asked my library service (Buckinghamshire)to get a subscription, as they have for Times Digital Archive, DNB and other goodies, but I expect they will say it is too expensive. It is a fantastic resource though. I gather one can use it for free at the British Library, but you have to go there.

Yes, unfortunately the freebie seems to have finished

When I try this, I get an Infotrac page (for the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium) asking for a library ID, barcode or other ID. How did you manage to carry out a search? Is the free access gone now?

There is free access to newspaper records on
http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/gazed/gazed156.htm
An "advanced search" on the forest of dean shows lots of articles
