Newspaper Sources

The British Newspaper Archive has digitised the Mitcham and Tooting Mercury, from 1913 to 1919, and the Mitcham Advertiser, from 1909 to 1930, and 1932 to 1961. For other years the Streatham News, which was a sister paper to the Mitcham News & Mercury, is a good resource, see below.
