Always back up your files. Several years back, I purchased a years worth of access to British newspapers. There was years worth of the Hartlepool England newspapers. What fun! I downloaded so many family articles, changed the PDF into jpegs. Fortunately, I did use some in blogs because my computer crashed several months later and I lost it all. Lesson learned....back up your files. I am slowly trying to rebuild my UK Hughes data, which is what I lost.
A decade ago, on January 10, 2010, I blogged about my paternal great great grandparents death and burial. It was before my British newspaper subscription. It was a happy dance day when I found both obituaries.
Obituary and Death Certificate of George Henry Hughes

Hartlepool, England
page 6
HUGHES--On the 8th inst. (instante mense--a date of the current month) at 70 Florence Street, George Henry, aged 78, beloved husband of Mary Ann Hughes--Cortege to leave above address Saturday, 3 p.m., for service in St. Aidan's Church.--Friends please accept this (the only) intimation.
Looking back through my blogs, it appears I never posted George Henry Hughes' death certificate.
Obituary and Death Certificate of Mary Ann Storey Hughes
Northern Daily Mail
Saturday, March 16, 1935
Hartlepool, England
page 4
HUGHES--On the 14th inst. (instante mense--a date of the current month) at 70 Florence Street, Mary Ana, aged 82, dear beloved wife of the late George Henry Hughes--Cortege to leave 11-45 a.m. Monday for service at St. Aidan's--Friends please accept this the (only) intimation.
Posting this blog secures these pieces of Hughes history in case the computer and external go belly up. I really need to look into saving my information to a cloud site.
