Newspapers at Liverpool Records Office

Post by graleystives »

Hello
I travelled to Liverpool today to visit the Family History Records. I didn't make a lot of progress other than realising how ageing has made reading the microfiches so difficult!
One if the things I was looking for were details of two trials. There is a court record of a acquittal for assault on 5th Feb 1880 for a Mary Graley and a conviction for a Thomas GraIley on 13th October 1873 for fraud that I was hoping to find more details of to see if either of these relate to my GG grandparents.
I didn't find anything - Even though I looked at two of the Liverpool papers for the days following these dates?
Please could I ask:
Would these cases be likely to be covered in the local press?
If so, which paper would be best to look at?

Many thanks.
Looking for Graley, Roseby, Frankish, Wragge/Wragg, Burke, Scott and
Edmondson.

If there was anything it would be recorded in the Liverpool Mercury I expect. An easier method is to join the Lancashire Library which will give you access to old newspapers online.

Sorry I didn't find anything in a search, but if you get your card I'm sure you would find it useful for future searches.
