Would anyone be able to tell me what papers covering the Small Heath area might have a picture or report of a wedding on May 15 1937 at the Methodist Chapel Coventry Road Small Heath between Barbara Trevett and William Henry Roberts? Also the newspaper that might report the sudden death of William Henry Roberts on 14 Nov 1971 at Warwick Road Solihull? Stubbs:)
 
Hi,

No newspaper is likely to report or photograph a wedding unless there is something special about it. Likewise a sudden death unless it was due to unnatural causes. There may be family announcements of either and would most likely to have been in the Birmingham Mail.

Thanks for your help. Do you know if back copies of the Birmingham Mail are kept at the Record Office or Central Library? Stubbs
 
Central Library has Mail, Despatch and Sunday Mercury on (very scratchy) microfiche film, there are viewers there to view them too.
 
Thank you for the information. When we come to Birmingham next week we'll try there.
