Can anyone tell me the address of the Newspaper that would cover the Swaffham/East Dereham area of Norfolk. I am looking for ERNEST HENRY WORDINGHAM born Blakeney,1896 to Albert and Mary wordingham and I have been told he may have had family in that area in the 1950's-60's and would like to try putting a letter into the paper. Cheers. Mandie Oliver

Hi you could try the Eastern Daily Press - that is a daily paper with a very high circulation, head office in Norwich. http://new(.)edp24(.)co(.)uk/default.aspx There is the Lynn News: http://www(.)lynnnews(.)co(.)uk/ The Watton and Swaffham News: http://www(.)mediauk(.)com/newspapers/342641 REMOVE THE BRACKETS FIRST Also check out the Rootsweb site for Norfolk and East Anglia. Alternatively there are a lot of free ad papers which are also owned by the EDP - not sure what the Dereham one is called. In the adjacent area (mine!) it is called the Mercury. Have a google for papers - East Dereham.
