Morning Advertiser - licensed trade newspaper
For those with ancestors who were licensed victuallers, this newspaper is invaluable. It began in 1794 and by the mid 19th century was the second highest circulating newspaper after The Times. Charles Dickens was an early contributor. It gives details of pubs changing hands, deaths of pub landlords and elections to Licensed Victuallers Homes (retirement homes for pub landlords & their families - an early example of occupational welfare). Please give this serious consideration as it covers an important occupational group. The newspapers are already scanned by the British Library.

This is an essential source of brewery and pub history. Would love to see thr whole of the 19th century covered.
