Would I be able to get a copy of The Times newspaper from the 1860's and if so, where would be the best place to start looking?
Thank you

these are available on CD rom in most main libraries and it is also available at a charge to search online, the index is anyway. just google it and you go to the Index site and u can sign up. It contains the B,D.M index, divorce, bankruptcy, wills etc, very good info.
cherrybomb - if its just one particular article you need I can look it up for you as I have access to the Times Online Digital Archives. This is something you can get access to as well if you apply. I can't remember the website but I will find it when I get home and let you know if you want it? Or just give me some details and I will look for it for you?

Hi shineybomb, Thankyou, that is very kind of you. The details for the article are: First reference is in the Palmers index to the Times dated 26th September 1876 on page 3 column D and the second reference to the story is in the Times newspaper dated 13th november 1876 on page 6 column E
The story is about my great, great grandfather Moses and although I know what it is about I would love to read the articles in full and If possible print a copy of them for my family history. Would I be able to do this if I apply for access? If so, then the website address/details would be great thank you.
Regards.
This is the website:

They seem to have updated the website so if you register (and you don't have to live in Berkshire to use this) now you can search the Times archives straight away.

You might be better off doing it yourself as otherwise you will have to put your email address on here for me to send you the pages. But I can do that if you have no luck so let me know
