Looking for origional document

Derry

I am looking for a scan of the origional newspaper listing in the Londonderry Sentenil of a marriage announcement. I have found a transcript of it but I am wondering if a scan of the origional.  The listing is as follows:  Marriage of John Boardman & Sara Jane Galbraith  on August 18, 1863.

The marriage was in the Derry Journal of 26th August 1863 too. Here's a copy.

Betsy,

There are no indexes for those papers, I regret.

There are transcripts of the births, death & marriages in the Londonderry Sentinel for the years 1829 to 1869. These are available from the Causeway Coast & Glens Branch of the North of Ireland Family History Society. (CD or memory stick).

If you want to see the originals, you would need a subscription to a newspaper site such at the British Newspaper Archive.
