Weston Mercury
I have been researching the history of Choral Music in Weston-super-Mare using your archived material which I am able to access on line. So far it has enabled me to form a picture of what it was like prior to 1950. One paper which may have been of assistance which was missing was the Weston Mercury (Weston-super-Mare)

Ross-shire Journal
There is very poor coverage of the Highlands. The "Ross-shire" has been the voice of Ross-shire since the 1870s.

Irish Newspapers prior to 1922.
As you probably know, the vast majority of the census returns, wills, parish records etc were destroyed in a fire in Dublin in 1922. This means that the only real source of finding information is through the newspapers. A searchable newspaper archive for the Irish newspapers prior to this date would be extremely useful

Aris's Birmingham Gazette pre 1840
There are Georgian newspapers which covered Birmingham pre 1837. Arris's Gazette readily springs to mind, but there were others. It would be great to read these online. Can you help, please given the amount of interest in Birmingham history?

British language newspapers from the British Empire
In the 19C, my family were spread around the Empire. They appear in newspapers from India: Allen's India Mail on books.google after a fashion; China: The North China Herald on BNA at www.findmypast; Japan: Japan Weekly Mail (snippet views ONLY on books.google); Kenya: The Kenya Gazette (ONLY on books.google); South Africa is particularly badly served in terms of bmd & a newspaper would be very useful.
