Does anyone have any good websites where you can search for ancestors in newspaper articles?

Thats a copy of the Timesonline archives who are doing a free trial at the moment. I found some information for someone on Genes but none for me. I guess you have to have done something pretty bad to make the Times

Have you looked at Old Bailey online? Amazing how many rellies you can find either as accused, defendant or witness. Mainly London though.
