Sue, I know it's years since the original post, but you may not be aware that Lottery Funding has enabled the Ross Gazette to be digitised. It is absolutely free and a great resource, especially for Family Historians.
I have just entered Minett and found 72 pages of results. There are far more than for the average person as he was a solicitor and he is mentioned for any court cases that he was involved in.
The site is a little slow and I have reported this to Herefordshire Council, but be prepared for that.
