Cleopatra Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Very interesting snippet of hitorical news. Maybe a report by the WW (The other WW that is) because some details are missing. I mean, who was Taylor? Why did the jury all stand up? Were they instructed to by the coroner? Was Taylor one of those jurors? And is Taylor one of my ancestors? All very mysterious.

Tracey Bennett Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Great link Algy. Has anyone else tried looking at the Guardian on microfilm at the library? Awful to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Awful as in fuzzy microfiche or awful as in the actual content ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Combination of fuzzy microfilm and either the quality of the readers or the light levels in the room making it hard to read. I used some at the Chester Record Office and they were fine but the room was in total darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
