  1. Never underestimate the importance of newspapers being the source of information as the World Wide Web of its day. Found my great grandmother, a chairwoman in Middlesex being left the house she rented from who she charred for. Led to investing in the landlady’s will. All this form half a dozen lines in a local newspaper. It don’t just happen in fiction. Thanks for the update John
