Re newspapers just googled and got WILTSHIRE TIMES which seems to cover Devizes. Give them a call and if you know the date of the event you might get lucky.

I would like to know this too, I´ve been googling like crazy but can´t get in. I rung the paper where it was originally in (a photo of my father as a child on a sledge in the snow) and they could only help me if I new the exact issue which I didn´t.
I think there aren´t many old newspapers on line, just snippets from them.
Angela, Libraries often have old newspapers where you can search. As you know it is Devizes can you get there to search? or perhaps someone else would do it for you. Good luck

Does anyone know if it is possible to view old newspaper clippings online? I want to try and find a news paper clipping of the tragic death of twins Richard & Elizabeth Cleaver 1974 Devizes, Wiltshire aged 6 months.

Many thanks

Angela
