Contact the main reference library in the area, they can search, copy and send any reports that there are and do it for a lot less than the records office.

Usually the search is free, you just pay for the copying and postage.

Does anyone know how to go about searching old newspapers. My Gt Grandmother committed suicide in 1904 in Manchester and l wondered whether there may be a newspaper report about it? I live in Cornwall so cannot research at local libraries, is it possible to ask for a search at a library? Lynne
