Have emailed Bridgend library some months ago, no reply. My grandmothers niece Lorraine Price was stalked and murdered in the Glamorgan area, may be Bridgend, in the 1970s. She had a baby girl, who was brought up by her grandmother Mrs Doreen Price. I have been unable to find any info about the murder, which is surprising. The family had so much bad luck, including a 16 yr old lad dying in a house fire, a cot death, and a young man falling to his death at work. Does anyone remember this case, or have any suggestions where to look?

Try the Times newspapers site. You should be able to search for Bridgend newspapers and go from there.

I have found Bridgend library very helpful.

I think I read somewhere that they have been closed for building work?

....just found the message on their home page...

Hi Romany... I am sure the South Wales Echo/Western Mail would have run that story, as well.... they are the main two papers for the area, and would certainly have covered Bridgend.

Thanks Daff. Im lost with The Times online, I cant find where to search Glamorgan. We might have to go back down there and visit the library.
