Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Could someone please advise if any Liverpool Newspapers between about 1848-1852'ish still exist?
If so are any available for searching online?

Looking for information, particularly the disappearance (or death) of ancestor John ANGUS, born 1800. Family oral history suggested he was murdered.
Hoping further information might be in newspapers.

Inspector Liverpool Police until about 1842, appointed Head Warden 1844. Last found in 1841 Census and in 'Parliamentary Papers' report re Kirkdale Gaol and House of Corrections - 1845/46

Family: Wife - Eliza (1811); Fanny (1840); Lewis (1840-52); John (1844-Australia); Robert Alexander (1848 - Australia. Have other immediate family incl. GIBB

Family lived in various areas incl. Liverpool, Bootle, West Derby; Kirkdale.

I've looked in the Times (London) and the Liverpool Mercury spanning more than the dates you gave, but without success. The Mercury is the only Liverpool paper available online, but others are on film in the Liverpool Record Office.
I did spot a deposition by John Angus, 'head warder', in a report in the Mercury of 21 Aug 1846, but no reference to his death.

I did a search also, but didn't find as much as Daggers did!

For your own access check the information here they may still allow applications to join the Lancashire Library even from abroad.

Thank you both for your efforts and I will look at if I can get membership to the Library from way down here... Definitely have quite a bit more I need to follow up on in the Liverpool area.

Daggers - are you able to recall the content of the 'Deposition' of John ANGUS please?

Regards,
Glenn in Oz.

FANTASTIC -
Thanks yet again Daggers & MaryA
I managed to join the library and now reading the 'Mercury'
Have found an article in 1854 re John ANGUS's wife and daughter Fanny...

Looks like a few more late nights coming up this way

All the best
