Updates
So far, all the contemporary newspaper reports have come from the Folkestone Chronicle, but even by the date we`re up to at present (1869) there were other newspapers being published in the town. By this time the town was also being served with the Folkestone Observer and the Folkestone Express.
Whereas I would have liked to - in an ideal world - keep the reports running chronologically, and to have had stories from these other two papers inserted already, the permissions I need to be able to do that are not yet in place. (I have 6 years or so of the Observer already transcribed and ready to be put here, for example).
To avoid readers having to go through a lot of older postings to find the updates, as and when there are new items on the blog I`ll make an update post - the next will be over the weekend, hopefully, when 1869`s Chronicle is finally ready to be viewed. When the time comes that reports from the other papers are ready to be posted they`ll be put in the correct date order amongst the posts.
As you would expect, there will be a lot of "repeat" type postings, but the way in which things are reported in different sources will also lead to more information becoming available. It is certainly also the case that there are stories that have appeared on the Observer which are not reported in the Chronicle and vice versa. We can only assume that the same will hold true for the other papers as and when they make it here.
