Court proceedings, police activity, probate, bankruptcy, sport – even missing people. Old newspapers are a real treasure trove exposing every aspect of life as it really was.  Revealing the actual lives of our ancestors. From transported convicts, crime reports, births, deaths, obituaries and marriages – Go to The British Newspaper Archive

I have been researching and writing about British murders for a great many years before and after the development of the internet. Of course no one case is ever the same – each one is distinctive. Murder Research is a unique investigation service established on-line in 2003. Over the years I have searched, discovered and sometimes written about many old British serious criminal cases covering the period 1750 to 1950.
